I let him use my credit card for a while months ago because his card had to be reissued after suspected fraud. Then he went into the hospital in the intervening months so he wasn't ordering anything but he got out last month and resumed living at home. However he never reset his card so it keeps billing me.

Part of me thinks I should just let it go because it seems like a fair compromise (since I'm still working and have plenty of money and he's just living on his various retirement incomes, which isn't a terrible lot) but at the same time...dammit, it's my credit card. Plus I'm still recovering from last month's financial crater where I paid for an in-home helper to get him back up to speed as he came out of the hospital...

No, I'm pretty sure this is straight-up fraud. Tell your dad to cut this shit out.

You can just go and cancel your card, that would be the easiest. If he asks later about it, just say there was suspected fraud and a new card is being issued.

Just tell him about it, he probably thinks you are still caring for him even though he is no longer in a hospital. I am sure he would understand. All else fails get a new card or stop payments on Instacart.

A compromise about what? Do you owe your Dad money?

Tell your dad to pay for his own shit. Or just turn off the card and get it reissued

He's just had a rough spell and is finally getting healthy again.

I called him and told him what was going on after I made this topic, though, and he resolved it. I actually only noticed this happening recently because he only started ordering from Instacart again in the last two weeks or so (otherwise I was going out and getting him groceries myself).
