<prompt> Human: Hello PF,This is a very long post about how I was fraudulently charged about 7000 on my credit card but the bank wont even file a dispute for me. I really need some help as Im in Chile, which is a foreign country. There is a TLDR at the bottom which is also a little long, sorry so maybe that will be enough.I am travelling in Chile and I went to a bar where I was fraudulently charged on my credit card. This place was pretty sketchy and being there at all was my first mistake. To start off the bar was showing me prices in Chilean pesos but charged me in US dollars. 700 pesos to 1 dollar. They showed me two bills one of 15000 and one of 30000 Chilean pesos about US 20 and US 40 respectively but charged me US 150.00 and US 300.00. Obviously I cant prove this and I signed those receipts when they billed me. The second charge did not go through and my account was locked so I had to call Bank of America and tell them to authorize it. After that the bar charged thousands of dollars on my card through separate transactions without my authorization. After a while I was the only client there and I went to get another drink and they gave me a bill of about 1100 which I refused to pay because I had no idea where that came from. They physically threatened me and wouldnt let me leave though so I gave them my card. This charge got rejected by BoA for security reasons and so I had to call and tell them to authorize the charge. I told the representative on the phone that I needed it authorized because I was being physically threatened and feared for my safety, so he authorized it and told me to get out of there and call the cops. The charge went through and I signed a receipt after which I went to get by jacket and then leave.Before I was able to get the jacket they came to me and said the charge did not go through, which was definitely a lie. They forced me into a corner and again threatened me to make the charge again. I had no choice but to give them the card again. It got declined so I had to call BoA again tell them Im being threatened again and to authorize the charge. Finally I was able to leave. The lady on the phone said I would be able to dispute the charge when it posted but to file a police report in the meantime.I filed a police report yesterday and the charges posted today. I called the billing dispute people told them this story again and said that I did not authorize any of the charges. The charges were 150, 300, and then 6 charges ranging from 500-1700. I only signed four receipts though, one for 150, 300, and 2 for 1100 which I was forced into. The merchant didnt give me receipts obviously but if asked, they would only be able to produce signed receipts for the 150, 300 and the 2 1100. Interestingly enough the 1100 charges that I did sign for are not even posted on my account. BoA billing disputes said that these charges were all legitimate and that they wouldnt even file a dispute because it was my fault since I gave the bar my credit card. They wouldnt even look into it or ask the merchant for receipts for these charges. I do not want to go back to that bar and ask them for receipts myself since these were the same people that threatened me. I filed a police report and hopefully the police will do something but I am leaving the city soon and cant stay to get a lawyer or sue. Chile is a completely foreign country to me and I dont speak very much Spanish anyway. I feel like this could be very easily settled if they just asked the merchant to produce receipts in which case I would be out 2650 instead of 7000 because the merchant would only have signed receipts for 4 of those purchases two of which I was forced to sign. I know I cant prove that I was physically threatened but I thought BoA would be a lot more helpful since I told them while those charges were happening that I was being threatened. I was able to speak freely with the people on the phone since no one at the bar spoke english.Is there anything I can do now? These charges are so clearly fraudulent as I would never spend 7000 in one day. I have been travelling for 2 months relatively frugally, solely using this card and have spent 3700 so far. It does not match my credit history at all to spend so much in one day. Secondly are there any protections against being threatened with force to use your credit card? I filed a police report but BoA seems to not care at all since they wont even file a dispute, let alone reject it. I have heard that I can file a report with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Will that help at all?TLDR: Two days ago a bar in foreign country charged credit card. Got declined. Called bank to authorize it. Signed two receipts totalling 450. Bar then charged thousands of dollars on the card in 6 different payments of different amounts which I had no idea about. Bar then physically threatened me and forced me to make 2 payments of 1100. Had to call bank to get those authorized since it got declined. Told agents I was physically threatened and feared for my safety so I needed those authorized. Signed those two receipts as well. Yesterday I filed a police report. Today I called bank to dispute the charges but they said charges were legitimate since I gave the bar my card. They wont even file a dispute. Is there anything I can do about this? I was physically threatened and forced to use my card but am I just out of luck and out 7000? The merchant would only be able to produce four receipts totalling 2650 although the two 1100 charges were forced. How can I get BoA to just ask the merchant for receipts? Again sorry for such a long post. Im pretty helpless in a foreign country and there were so many details so I needed to write them all out so I could get some advice at least. Id really appreciate any help at all. Thank you.  <response>: You should contact an attorney in the US and see what your options are.
