Yes, lesson learned. Got a credit card recently.

It was for my Visa debit card. I just had a ballpark balance that I kept an eye on, didn't look too deeply at my statement. Lesson learned.

Fuck. Have another charge that is for $1k (around the same time that the rental company charged me), that is completely fraudulent and I have no idea who it's from.
I'm thinking giving the rental company a bad public review might coerce them into paying me back.

I talked with my bank, Charles Schwab, and they asked me to provide more documentation. Basically what happened is I was approved but I never 'reserved' the apartment. The apt is charging me because they're saying that I 'reserved and then reneged'. I checked our email convos and this didn't happen. I'm guessing they'll claim that I 'reserved' the apartment over the phone or something.
