how is the bill $1000, when the bills were $125 x 2 = $250?

Is it because of the interest?

That's terrible that Chevron would sell you out like that...

Call the CC company. They should reverse the charges.


EDIT: nm.. didn't realize it was a chevron cc. It's so easy to remove illegitimate charges with Visa or MC.

Call credit card company.

Tell them you have nothing to do with the charge.

Your credit might have the 'zero liability' features.

How much time elapsed since you got the card and the bill came?

Ask them what date the card was activated and then depending on the answer to my first question bitch them out how charges of $1000 on an inactive cc for x amount of months went through (this argument would be good only if the elapsed time was like a year)...

Plus, the fact that u didn't activate your card, it'll be negligent on the cc company's part because no transactions should've been approved on the account in the first place.

If you have to ask the question what to do if your credit card it stolen you don't have enough common sense to have one.

Yes they can if they are manually entered or If the place does not have a phone line like BC ferries boats.

Chevron credit cards can only be used at Chevron gas stations, ie. not a Visa or MC that most places accept. If purchases are comming from non Chevron places, something doesn't make sense.

you are correct.... weird how a guy can fill up 125 dollars of gas or store goods 3 times a day... then twice the next day then 3 times the following day.
