More money grumbles

[redbird]

My beloved cattitude lost his ATM card today, and the person who found it is not honest. The bank says he'll get most of the money back, but it may take weeks. We really don't need this right now.

eee!

My husband had an ID theft issue three years ago. It's a good idea to contact the major credit reporting agencies and have them put a notice on your credit reports not to approve any credit/applications/whatever unless they contact you at your home number.

Good luck!

Sorry to hear this. I hope it all gets sorted in the shortest possible time.

Jane dropped her debit card a few years ago, and it was the whole weekend before she noticed. She got the money back, so that's good. Ever since then, though, we've both taken to writing SEE PHOTO ID in big Sharpie letters on the signature line. And for a while I was insisting the people check the signature.

That's horrid.

Oh, that's awful. May the person who found and misused the card be duly punished.

I've done this at the advice of American Express after the one and only time my credit card was stolen. I've found few people actually bother to read what it says or ask for ID. I always make a point of thanking those few that do.
