The accused, Mr. Garcia, was caught attempting to use a stolen credit card to purchase expensive items at a high-end department store. However, due to a malfunction in the store's payment system, the transaction did not go through and the sale was not completed.

Discuss the legal implications of Mr. Garcia's actions under the aforementioned law. Is he liable for frustrated access device fraud or attempted access device fraud, or both? Support your answer with relevant legal provisions and jurisprudence.
