Today 4 Star taught me something very important. If you give your credit card information to a vendor/service provider, they legally have the right to put through any charges they want. Literally anything up to your credit limit. There is nothing you can legally do.
Your only recourse is civil action. Paraphrased...the onus is on the cardholder to prove that the vendor did not provide the services and goods claimed, or to acceptable standards. You’ll most probably get it back, but you lose a day, and it’s a pain etc. If they put through, hypothetically $267, odds are that it’s more expensive to litigate than write it off. Good business model. Odds are in their favour.
I consider it a relatively affordable lesson in legal credit card abuse.
It's an extremely expensive windshield replacement though.
