Bad Credit Agency

Should I say something?

A couple of weeks ago my grandma gave my younger cousin her credit card number to buy a plane ticket out to California to see the family. Then she started noticing purchases on her credit card that my cousin had made without telling her. She bought a bunch of stuff from the mall, some acne cream from the T.V. and a plane ticket to visit her fiance in North Carolina where he's stationed before he goes to Iraq. My grandma asked me what I thought she should do since I work for a Credit Counseling agency and I gave my opinion, but I'm also wondering if I should say something to my cousin. My grandma is kind of a push over so I don't know that she'll confront my cousin. Should I say something or just stay out of it? The worst thing is that I know if my cousin had just asked my grandma would have bought her that stuff anyway. It's the fact that she lied and went behind her back. My grandma already knows that it was my cousin, I should have made that clear. She can't get anything removed from her card unless she presses charges but she won't do that. She just doesn't want to say anything to my cousin because my cousin is the type of person that avoids confrontation. If my grandma said something she would just get defensive and get on the next plane out of town and decide she hates us all. But she needs to be called out! How can you steal from your grandma, how low is that!!

1. I would say some thing it, it's importaint.
2. Confront your cousin about it and tell her to apologize to your gradma , she sounds a bit selfish to me.
3. If you feel it would help her to stand up for herself and confront the teens parents and make them responsible for the transactions, then yes. Maybe it will open her eyes to not letting others, even family, prance off with her credit cared again. ADDITION: Then your Grandmother is the weaker of the two since she knows and does not want to confront just because she does not like confrontations. She needs to be confronted and if she gets away with it with your Grandmother then she will think she can with anyone else she thinks she can take advantage of.
4. If she finds out and then finds out you knew, you look like a jerk b/c grandma confided in you. Tell your cousin that she needs to come clean b/c either you are going to tell Gma or Gma is going to find out and press charges without knowing the name of the person. That probably isn't true, but it should motivate your slimeball cousin to fess up. What a slimeball. I hope she goes to prison.
