Q: Can I leave a credit card unused?

Yes, you can leave a credit card unused. However, if you do not use it for an extended period, the card issuer may close the account due to inactivity. It's advisable to check your card issuer's policy on account inactivity.

Full question:

I have recently learned my husband's adult children (ages 45- 58) have written approximately $40,000 in checks using his bank account. One of them paid their American Express card once for $10,000 and again a month later for $9500. I understand that this could be considered criminal activity. My husband is currently being evaluated for competency and I have Durable POA. The bank assumes no liability for honoring checks that are clearly NOT written by my husband nor are they signed to resemble anything like his handwriting. Please tell me how I proceed to file charges against these 50 year old children.
