i lied about debit card, I paid my mother back the money, she filed the claim. I returned the product, im just wondering what is likelyhood the bank will report me to police for fraud for 25 dollars, is it worth their time and effort, i read online that anything under 1000 dollars or lower police wont get involve. Is this true. I cant get the thought of my head.
You already created a thread about this. I don’t think we can tell you much more.

It’s fine. But you can worry, but you will have to deal with whatever happens. But you have a right to be nervous. Just try to stay calm and react if something actually happens.

Okay thanks for your opinion.
You won’t go to jail. Think how much it would cost just to house you in jail for a week. Just learn your lesson not to do it again and you’ll be fine.
If you ever feel tempted by a similar impulse, hopefully the memory of you dreading jail now will resurface and remind you to make good choices

I’m sorry to hear you’re going through this. I have anxiety too, and paranoia. I hope it helps to talk to a therapist.
Have you ever tried guided meditation? It can help you calm down, and focus on the here and now. I recommend it for anxiety.
i wouldn’t worry too much about it but maybe it’s your punishment to have to worry a bit now. But i think it’s very unlikely that anything will happen to you for it.

i agree, i think its paranoia getting the best of me. its not worth tax dollar money for 25 dollars to investigate maybe 1000dollars but 25 dollars one time deal yea i really doubt noone is going come after me. the cops have other big things to worry about.

yea totally =)
so no need to worry about it anymore… and if something does happen then, then you deal with that at that time.
i dont think nothing is going happen because i heard the conversation with my mom and the bank saying i hope you guys can resolve your issues, and she told them i have a mental illness. I think they understand it was a mistake. and i read its not up the bank to report the the police is up to my mom, but she forgives me because i paid her back. and i returned the product back to the company. Ill be fine.

Time will solve that, if you do find yourself in an argument, disengage and diffuse and remember she does have a reason to be annoyed at you at the moment, and tbf you’ve done it and you even struggled with lying, I don’t think you’ll do it again! I genuinely don’t get dishonest vibes from you

Thanks, i didn’t lie i had to tell the truth, i felt bad, it has eating me away i had to the right thing tell her the truth.
In AA when I worked the steps, part of it was making amends to people I had harmed in some way. That included paying people back that I had conned or cheated. Maybe paying your mom back the money would help your situation. And one of the best ways to make amends is not to repeat the same dishonest thing again.

It’s easy to not do it again; just don’t do it again.
Hey, I see a pattern in your posts about buying and returning stuff. Hey, can your counselor or case worker or therapist explain to you the basics about finances? And explain how to buy stuff and using debit cards responsibly?
