I think most of us understand that. But in this case, sis didn't just impulsively spend her own money., or buy on her own credit. She stole the card and then used it fraudulently, knowing that her sister would have to pay it back if it was not reported.

I'm not saying the OP should not report the fraud. In fact, I believe they should report the fraud to the cc company, and also report the sister's illness. But I do not think the OP should report the matter to the police. Maybe if the OP reports the fraud and illness to the cc company, they can come to agreement on a repayment plan for the sister.

I just wanted to say to anyone passing judgement on the sister. Impulsive and uninhibited spending is a common symptom of BPD.

Very true. But it doesn't mean one should get no consequences from it, especially when the law is broken.

Passing judgement is different from asking a person to own a pair and take responsibility to right a wrong IMHO.

What do you mean, her sister? I'm her brother! To think I was worried about her being insulted.:j

There is a very good reason I haven't bothered reporting her to my parents; they're both dead. There's no danger of any further cards being confiscated from me since she got on a plane to Austria two days ago, so I may as well switch. She's going there to study a course funded by Student Finance England so should get paid the same time as I do so I wonder if I could ring them and ask if I could garnish it?

How can student finance England fund a course being studied abroad.
