Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
credit fraud?
if an employer says they are going to open up a corporate account for an employee, and gets a ss# and checking account # for verification purposes for the new account, and then there is a charge for $149 on the employee's checking account because the employer used one of those bad credit - credit card services to try and open an account (even though the employee has good credit) - is this considered financial or cc fraud by the employer? the cc company name that the employer tried to open an account was USA Credit.

How strange. Certainly the employer has to reimburse the employee for the $149, otherwise the employee should contact the State Labor Commissioner.
Re: credit fraud?
It sure sounds like that to me. I wonder if this is a small employer. My guess is that the employee is soon going to have other issues, like not getting paid. I would demand to be reimbursed in full, have employer pay for a fraud alert on my credit, and then quit.
