DEAR SUN SPOTS: While headed toward Jay from Livermore Falls on Route 4 on Saturday, Sept. 18, at about 5:30 p.m., a cane appeared to fall from the roof of the car ahead.

Please contact us at 615-3203. Thanks for helping us find the owner of a lost item. —  Diane, East Livermore

DEAR SUN SPOTS: We can always count on you and I have a good one for you. I am a senior citizen and am having a problem with a credit card company telling me that I owe them over $2,000 for something I didn’t purchase. There has been an investigation but nothing has been resolved. I do not owe this money. I need help. — No name, no town

ANSWER: If you see a line item on your credit card statement for something you don’t recognize, call the customer service number on the back of your credit card to report the problem. Most payment card fraud investigations are actually handled by the cardholder’s issuing bank, rather than a card network like Visa or Mastercard. Generally speaking, after a customer makes a complaint, the bank will gather any relevant information and examine the transaction details closely.

Another thing you can do is to look closely at the information in the description of the purchase. There may be a toll-free number for the company or store where the purchase was made. If not, look up the number online. For example, if the item was purchased at Amazon, there would be a number to call to get more information.

You may be dealing with fraud, or you may have inadvertently purchased something online without realizing it. Keep working with your credit card company and don’t give up. The Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) states that credit card users are only liable for up to $50 in fraudulent charges.

The major credit card networks — Visa, Mastercard, Discover and American Express — take it a step further by offering “zero liability” policies. This means that in cases of fraud, you won’t have to pay a dime.
