trailboss99 997 Posted July 18, 2012 CC checked, still maxed. Bank checked, still not enough to worry about. The biz accounts are safe, no cards and a rolling verisign code needed to access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johnnyjazz 0 Posted July 18, 2012 Yep, same thing happened to me, someone set up a direct debit from my account to pay a Tesco car insurance, 2 payments came out in March and April, then cancelled. After lots of phone calls to the police, my bank and Tesco, i was given the money back. The final answer i got from Tesco was that they were dealing with it and that they would not tell me who it was, would not tell me what action they were going to take if any and would not tell me the outcome of the investigation. Basically they will not let me know if the person that did this still has my account details. My own bank manager confessed to me that the banks do not waste their time or the police,s time in matters like this unless it is thousands of pounds.

KeNnY 29 Posted July 18, 2012 I have set an SMS directly to my phone for every transaction higher then 2 EUROs, so I know everytime if something is happening, and set limits for paying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
