    I don't think he has any right to phone the club and ask them to have put his old season ticket on your card I would query this and push for them to refund you the money, hopefully they will cancel his new season tickets.

    I think you need to contact you card company and advise them that the transaction was made without your consent. They may refund the money to you and reclaim from the football club. That will then put him under pressure to repay the football club.

    If there was a similiar situation regarding your parents' card, you need to do the same with that.

    I think the only problem with the calling the club and putting it on your card is... how do you prove that??? He/they could say YOU called - especially because it was so long ago that by now you really should have noticed and reported any instance of fraudulent use of your card...

    As above I have just had to write it off in the past when I have been stung.

    So when you were friends did he ever buy you anything?

    Yeah thats the issue, I don't feel theres any point in ringing the credit card company as it was so long ago, and they will just say i should have reported it sooner.
    Sorry i've had some problems with my internet so have only just seen the other responses.

    The_banker - Yes he did buy me things, But how is that question relevant?

    I think your being a bit harsh there. Im not asking him for money back for the gifts I bought him, im asking him for the money that he owes to me. This has nothing to do with any gifts.

    I agree. Gifts here and there for birthdays/christmas/special occasions - he bought them for the OP of his own free will. No one forced him to the shops with a gun to his back to make him buy them did they?

    "Happy birthday, here's a present", is a far cry from "oh, I'll just help myself to a season ticket on your credit card without your permission".

    Hopefully he won't have the audacity to mention presents bought for you if it does go to small claims, but he might, and they might take them into account unfortunately. They might also question why you didn't recall his season ticket at the time he put it on your card; so it might not look too good for you :( You can but try though.
