Some how, and she swears up and down it was and accident, my mother paid her mortgage and utilities with my bank card. Overdrafted my account, which she is not on, and basically just screwed my family over for the holidays. Now the bank after several lengthy phone calls and 2 visits will not reverse the money without us filing a police report on her. She has never done anything even remotely like this. Whole thing leaves me in a terrible bind. Either have my mother tossed in jail or find a way to tell my two young children that there's not going to be Christmas this year. We already screwed for Thanksgiving, our bank card was canceled and account frozen and it will most likely be next week before it's fixed if we do turn her in. What's even worse is we had just transferred our savings over so we could afford Thanksgiving and Christmas. I love my mother, and even more my kids adore her. She's their next favorite person other than myself and wife. She has no money to pay us back either.
Well I needed a place to vent and hopefully one of you who read this have some insight or advice on what I should do. Would rather not throw her in jail, do not see any reason that the bank would not reverse the transactions regardless of who did them.
