Hi all,
ok here is the story: I've started playing poker last year in sept. 07. I have NEVER ever played games in an online casino for real cash. On december 07 somebody used my credit card to add funds to a bodog account and also bought some software or stuff on 2 different online shops. I have immediately reported my card as stolen and I got back my money from my bank. I have sent emails to the online shops and to bodog telling them that my card has been stolen and it was not me using the card for this purpose.
Now, 2 months later I've received an email from Bodogs:
This email serves as your final notice to confirm your bodog account
currently has an outstanding balance in the amount of (EUR650.00),
and has now been referred to the Internal Collections Department
for the purpose of credit reporting to both Equifax and TransUnion.
Your balance will need to be immediately resolved to avoid having
your file referred to a 3rd party collections agency.
Your methods of repurcashing the balance are listed below:
Online Check Transfer (US clients only)
Visa / MasterCard
NUcharge (US clients only)
Thank you in advance your prompt attention to the outstanding
balance on your account.
Sincerely,
Accounts Department

Now I feel very bad since they are going to take further steps in order to get money from me?! I did response immediately telling them that somebody has stolen my card and it wasn't me adding funds to their casino.
Their answer:
Your information is going to be referred for derogatory 3rd party credit reporting to Equifax & Trans Union, if this matter is not resolved. You may want to begin seeking independent legal counsel, as this outstanding balance is not going to simply disappear because you claim that your credit card was stolen.
Seriously, what can I do now?! What options do I have?! What would you do?
Thanks for your help!
