Can you settle out of court if you have committed credit card ID fraud or do you have to be prosecuted?

Answer

If the credit card issuer files a complaint of fraud it will be up to the State's Attorney General to decide whether or not to prosecute. Some credit card fraud/crimes often fall under Federal jurisdiction. It is usually a felony, the classification depends upon how the information/card was used.
