Thought I'd better post. Not much been happening really.

Apart from some b£$%^&* decided it would be a good idea to start using my bank account and run up amounts to the tune of £950.

So how did it happen one might ask oneself. I've no idea at the moment. I only noticed when I collected £20 from my friendly ATM and it advised that my current balance was "£800 DR". So I pondered on it for a few moments thinking that I'd somehow managed to get £800 added to my account by some really nice banker and then it dawned on me. DR means "minus".

Oh happy days...

You know, when you've been tango'd.

And also identity hijacked.

Bugger.
 
It happened to me - twice!

Both times, it was after i took my car in to be repaired/serviced.

Them damn receipts i left in the car i guess!
 
Sorry top hear about the theft.
I hope your bank gives you the money back !

we shall see... Apparently I can't claim anything back until the final amount outstanding hits my statement which should be anytime around now...
 
Fingers crossed ~
 
Just to complete the agony - me too - AND about £900. It turned out that a policeman and a postie had a racket going where one of them (you guess!) lifted the very easily spottable 'new credit card' envelopes - and the other went out and loaded up with goods. (This was before Chip & PIN) Fortunately, none of the credit card slips had a signature that matched mine (other than it was the same name!) so they let me off. I got a massive 3 page credit card bill one morning and sat there thinking "I haven't done all this...... have I?" - scary!
 
could it have been taken after a visit to a leading gentlemans club in the heart of brum called "spearmint rhino" ?
