Someone stole my debt / visa card # and ranked up 7k

[TIGERJC]

:(

Now my account is frozen and I will be unable to get any money until about 2-4 weeks from now. I am just glad I have $200 cash at home

I just checked my credit score last week 680 and I really hope that this hasn't fuk up my credit, since I am looking at getting another car.


Has anybody else dealt with this, if so do you have any tips?

[Spectic Tank]

What bank? Many banks claim to refund fraudulant charges...

[TIGERJC]

Ga Telco

[TIGERJC]

I think I will get my money back, but the a.s.shole in Michigan put both my savings and checking account in the negative. So wouldn't that affect my credit score

[Alan®]

once its all said and done you will be fine. good luck man sorry to hear it.

[Tracy]

Dan had it happen and he had to do lots of leg work himself to get it taken care of. I wouldn't suggest being idle and letting the bank handle it alone. Dan got on his on-line account ad called every company that had a fraudulent charge. His credit is fine after t all, but like I said he had to do a lot of leg work himself. Most of the companies will go ahead and reverse the charge immediately if you just inform them of the matter.

From yahoo answers:


No, it won't affect your FICO score, however it could get reported to ChexSystems which is similar to a credit bureau for checking and savings accounts. The only way that if would hurt your FICO score would be if the overdraft went unpaid and the account was charged off with a negative balance.

I have to get some more info from my bank tomorrow, and then I will file a police report and start making the calls to get everything reversed

[TIGERJC]

Thanks for the kind words and tips ppl

Do you have on-line banking? If you do, you can start immediately on the charges they made. Each charge made has a corresponding phone number for the company where the charge was made and it should show up on your account. If they made direct withdrawals, then your bank will obviously have to deal with that. I'm not saying to not let your bank handle it...just make sure you are also involved because banks are b.itches.

Doesn't have phone numbers listed on my online statement like my amex card statement does. But it shows the county and state the charged was made and the addresses on some charges. Time to pull up yahoo Map and get some phone numbers. I know exactly how slow companies are and you must stay on them and do things on your own if you hope to get anything done

[On_Her_Face]

same **** happened to my credit card friday night, luckly they only charged like 700 and i can cancel it, but the weird thing is that i still have my card :???:

and it was not internet charges

same here, I still have my card, but they were able to charge wellover 800 at the numerous gas stations in Michigan. That leads me to believe a Ni.g.g.a was behind it, only they ride around on E all the time. SO more than likely they hooked up all their homies too

[hydroshutter]

Quit your bitching, you posted this for sympathy and attention.

Even if I ran into a tree, I'd still have my car running in 100% shape before you fixed your MR2.

I believe I asked for tips dumba.ss

If you ran into a tree your as.s wouldn't be fixing anything, so I don't believe your claim. I really do not post in the WL, I posted this to get tips on how to handle the situation as this is my first time. Hopefully your gun discharges while you're looking down the barrel, that way this thread will continue to stay on track.

FYI the mr2 has been up and running for 3 months

I love this alter ego, I wonder what he will say

[Fred Sanford]

All fred wants to know is, how the **** do you get your cc # stolen? Seriously, how dense are some of you people. I've handled thousands upon thousands of cc transactions and have yet to have a single issue.
You really must suck at life to find yourself in such a predicament.
Black on black crime, what a pity. Maybe next time you won't try and order anal beads from another blackplanet.com member.

hydroshutter I mean Fred, you're right. I hardly ever use my debit car to purchase anything and I have never used it for online purchases.

I know how to hide my ip too, so you want to have a alter ego battle b.itch?

[Fred Sanford]

When will you learn that I am not an AE? Seriously. I think hydroshutter says what he wants, he doesn't need an AE.
Wtf is as AE battle exactly? Do share your finite wisdom on the internets with me.

[hydroshutter]

What the hell are you saying?

Check my IP with his and then keep running your mouth if he's an AE or not, otherwise shut the **** up and ***** about your CC getting stolen to your other fake friends.

3months? CONGRATULATIONS! Some of us don't need 2 years to save up $1k to fix a car. If you're this much of a hardass, I wouldn't mind speaking with you next time we're at the same event.

[hydroshutter]

Furthermore, you're a moron if you can't see the difference in Fred's sentence formulation and mine. I would come to expect that from you, though.

Don't talk **** you won't answer to from this Local forum.

Feel free to Instant Message me on AIM if you want to set it up.

I sent your Webster look-alike ass a PM, you can keep e-thugging this thread up.

[Fred Sanford]

I have a question for you oh great thread starter. I know you didn't have 7k in the bank. Did you really mean 70 dollars? I'm sure if you kept 7k in the bank, you wouldn't be driving one of sanford autos finest pieces.
So, this is me calling BS on your claims of 7k sir.

Also, here is why fred is so much smarter than you when it comes to personal finance.
I have a crazy ass thing called e-alert that sends me an E-mail to my phone each time a transaction is made on my accounts. Wow, what a novel idea!

sorry to hear the bad news, i wish you the best of luck

[apex]

thats why you should use credit cards....it doesn't tie up REAL money and is easier to dispute b/c of CC guidelines.

[JennB]

Hmmm.... I was thinking about moving my accounts to GA Telco but I'm not sure after hearing this. I have had a few car loans through them but I may just keep my relationship with them limited to that. They have great rates.

Anyway, my debit card number was stolen 2 or 3 months ago. I have no idea how it happened, my card was in my purse and I don't use my debit card for online purchases. I use a credit card and then pay it back immediately for this very reason, security.

I guess it was one of those skimming devices in a gas station or ATM or some shady staff at a restaurant sicne that's the only place my card would ever leave my sight.

I check my account every day so I noticed it immediately when it was still a pending charge and had not even gone through. $110 to a restaurant in NYC. I called Wachovia and the money was back in my account in two days, had a new card in about 4 days, no holds on my account just a fraud watch. I signed an affidavit saying that I did not make the charges and that was that. Back to business as usual. I would say I'm more careful with my card but I have always been careful so there isn't much else to do other than watch your accounts very closely. Make it a habit to log on every morning just to be sure everything is as it shoud be. That's how I saved myself a lot of trouble.


Oh, and this will not effect your credit in any way unless the charges remain unresolved and they charge off the negative amount in your bank account. But your day to day activity in your bank account has nothing to do with your credit score.

[Sammich]

What bank? Many banks claim to refund fraudulant charges...

x2...when my card was hacked into they caught it the night they started doing it, called me and asked if i verified those charges, cuz for some reason i decided to keep what i NEEDED in my checking account and i only had like $50 in there..they racked up like $500 in charges and i told them it wasnt mine, they refunded me...it took like half a year for things to be fully cleared. i hope they look out for you

TRooth

[JennB]

I thought you said it was a debit card?

If it was a credit card, the money would not have been taken out of your bank account.

[TIGERJC]

debt and visa card

I never knew I had the separate visa card and didn't find out that I even had a card until yesterday

[JennB]

So it's a Visa debit card? (Visa Check Card) The card you use like cash or a check and money comes right out of your account.

That's not a credit card.

[TIGERJC]

So it's a Visa debit card? (Visa Check Card) The card you use like cash or a check and money comes right out of your account.

That's not a credit card.
also they got a visa credit card through me

[JennB]

Oh snap. That's identity theft. You're going to need to monitor all three of your credit reports and have fraud alerts put on them. If they have enough of your information to open one card, they can open others.

I use Transunion's "True Credit" service to monitor mine. You can look at your reports and scores any time and they send alerts to your e-mail or phone as soon as anything changes or a new account is opened. I really like the service. I changed my address with my bank and credit cards about 2 weeks ago and had an alert in my e-mail within two days.

Someone stole my AMEX card and ran up $10,000 for two limos (I made a huge thread about it back then). I filed a report with both the police and my card company. I wasn't held accountable for any of it.

[Ruiner]

That's not a credit card.

Yes and no.

You can use it as a debt card and enter in your pin #. You can also use it as a "credit" card and sign for it. Both take it straight out of your account as you said, though.

[JennB]

"Credit" card by definition means you are issued credit by someone and the card is the means you use to spend that money. So whether you sign for it or use a PIN number, it still debits directly from your account and is a debit card.

I use my debit card like a credit card because I don't like using my PIN in public places, but my bank does not extend any credit for those purchases. The money is essentially gone as soon as the transaction is complete.



Good luck with getting this resolved. You need to contact the credit bureau's as soon as possible so they don't allow any more accounts to be opened in your name.
