Best Answer

Unlikely - so long as you retract the report asap. However - the card company will have already cancelled the card within minutes of you contacting them.

If you reported it stolen so that you could get away with buying something and blame it on the "thief," then yes, you can definitely get into trouble.

Your boyfriend used a stolen credit card without you knowing and booked a hotel room and you went with him what will happen to you?

First off, I am surprised that the hotel did not check to see if his ID matched the credit card. Secondly, I am surprised that the card issuer did not advise the hotel that the card used was stolen, therefore having you/him arrested at the hotel. As far as you being in trouble in this, it may very well happen. You could be facing jail time, however, if you really did not know that the room was booked with a stolen card, and your boyfriend decides to be a man and tell the prosecutors that you played no part, and are innocent then you may be able to avoid any trouble.
