Theoretically, the minor could just not pay the bill, and the CC company couldn't do anything about it because there was no legal contract. however, if the minor mailed the application back, they could be liable for mail fraud, which is a felony. If it was done over the internet, it could be wire fraud.<br><b>References : </b><br> Considering a credit card company can't contract with a minor, i would think the error would be on them (the credit card company).

However, I would consider it massively unlikely they would bother bringing a civil action against a minor as long as they got their money back.<br><b>References : </b><br> Potentially the card company could take legal action for obtaining money under false pretences.
