Hi, might I add that your id may have been sold internationally and this may just be the tip of the iceberg. Get copies of all three of your credit reports (can get online, free once a year) and check carefully. Dispute anything found immediately, also report credit card stolen. Sometimes stuff dosnt surface for months,(even a year as was my sisters case) so it would be a good idea to join a credit report company that monitors your credit and gets back to you if something pops up.

I just wanna know, how can an account get that far in the negative? Wouldnt a charge back require use of the bank to do so, or was it because they deposited thru something like netellers and neteller detected it was a fraudulant deposit after the fact and pulled the funds back out? Just curious, anyone?

I thought this was a really old thread because I remember the same exact thing happening to a player a couple years ago. Threatening emails from the same casino.. seeking payment that the player said he knew nothing about. I hope it works out for you!

If the poster disputed with their credit card company, the company "charges back the transactions" at which time the "merchant" can respond by providing the required documentation of the transactions. If they fail to do so, the charge is "permanently" removed and the cardholder has no obligation to pay the charge to the credit card company.

However, the merchant can attempt to collect it directly.

How to deal with this: Call you credit card company and advise the merchant is going to report you to credit bureau, then call merchant, in this case Bodog and tell them that your Bank(Credit Card Issuer)has requested documentation including what the charge was for.

I guarantee you that Bodog will not be able to provide documentation that they submitted the charge as a gambling transaction.

If, and I don't think Bodog is a member of either U.S. credit bureau, the charge is actually shown on your credit report. Submit a copy of your credit card statement showing the chargeback along with your communication to the merchant, Bodog.

The Credit Bureau's cannot report NON-Credit related gambling debts. Once the charge is "Chargedback" it is no longer owed to a U.S. Financial Institution

What I don't understand is who's account was the money deposited into? If it wasn't your account, who's account was it. They have names and addresses for all accounts.
