Re: Unauthorized Transactions w/ Bank Card

Because nothing the other person did was done in Tennessee, you would need to go to Oklahoma to file suit. Contact an attorney in the city where the person lives and discuss your options. One option you should consider is criminal prosecution, and ask the court ot order the person to pay restitution to you as a condition of probation.
