You So, I stayed at a hotel and paid at beginning and the night before they reversed it, it’s now pending but hasn’t come back in to my account. When I tried to check out they said their hotel reversed my charge the morning of check out. I was comped a night and we came to a verbal agreement when the charge fell off I would call back and pay but the charge is still pending on my account as a withdrawal. My bank said since it was a credit card it would take 30 days to drop since they reversed the charge I am keeping in contact with management I owe $* and said I could pay before then when I got paid on the 27th because I want this situation over with but I am *)afraid they will authorize the original transaction at the last minute causing me to pay and additional $* and I am scared they are going to issue a warrant for my arrest
