Credit Card Fraud – A Third Degree Felony in New Jersey under N.J.S.A. 2C:21-6

Credit card fraud charges in NJ are governed by the New Jersey criminal code under N.J.S.A. 2C:21-6(h) which provides in pertinent part:

h. Fraudulent use of credit cards.

A person who knowingly uses any counterfeit, fictitious, altered, forged, lost, stolen or fraudulently obtained credit card to obtain money, goods or services, or anything else of value; or who, with unlawful or fraudulent intent, furnishes, acquires, or uses any actual or fictitious credit card, whether alone or together with names of credit cardholders, or other information pertaining to a credit card account in any form, is guilty of a crime of the third degree.

A third degree indictable (felony) offense is punishable by three (3) to five (5) years in New Jersey state prison in addition to fines, potential probation, and a permanent felony charge on your record. Now, if you have no prior criminal history, there is a presumption of non-incarceration for first time offenders. This means that, even if you are convicted of third degree credit card fraud, you should be sentenced to probation as opposed to state prison. Remember, however, that they can give you up to 364 days in the Morris County Jail as a condition of probation even if they don’t send you to state prison.

Further, first time offenders are also eligible for a diversionary program known as pre-trial intervention (“PTI”). If you apply for PTI and are accepted by the probation department as well as the Morris County Prosecutor’s office, then a Judge will place you on probation for a period and, if you successfully complete the conditions and term of your probation, then the charges will be dismissed at the end of the probationary term. In credit card fraud cases, they will usually require you to pay back the money that was fraudulently charged, this is known as “restitution” to the victim.
