Your statement above about the bank...this annoys me the most... the waiting... As much as I want to use our credit union for checking, I don't. A couple of local banks can replace your card in minutes following a thorough security check. Our credit union takes 7-10 days at a minimum. Good grief.

Gams - my heart breaks for you. One of our dogs died in the middle of the night at our home while she was fighting a nasty virus. It's not any easier having your baby die at home. Take comfort in the fact that you gave Malcom a happy life, which is the best any of us can do.
As far as the card issue, I don't have a debit card b/c I don't want anyone having direct access to my accounts. I use credit cards and thankfully have only had one unauthorized charge the whole time I had it and the CC company notified me immediately. Typically I only use a CC online and everything else I pay cash for. No fuss, no muss. I also always check every single charge on my CC when I get my statement and match them to receipts. I think thieves strike at this time of year b/c people charge more this time of year and expect a large bill but don't necessarily check to make sure all of the charges are legit. Be vigilent out there folks! Tis the season......

One really sweet moment happened over the weekend when I asked the manager of one of my favorite stores whether the store still accepts checks and explained why I was asking. He said no but offered to let me charge whatever I wanted to his personal card because he knew I'd pay him back. Did big old tears well up in my eyes? Oh, yes, they did!

I'm sorry that you're dealing with this, Gams, especially after suffering such a loss.

In case you all haven't done so, set up alerts with your bank/credit cards. They won't necessarily stop the purchases from going through, but at least you'll be aware of it much quicker to stop further harm. I've set them up to let me know when money is withdrawn, transferred, a purchase made, etc. I only use my debit cards to withdraw or deposit cash/checks at the bank, never for purchases. |
