If I can pipe in here for a minute on this topic. Last year I had just gotten home from work Saturday afternoon when there was a call from a credit card company. "Hello, this is your credit card company. Please stay on the line and an associate will be right with you." I thought, what the heck, I'm not interested in upgrading, deffering, or getting a new credit card, leave me alone. I almost hung up, when they stated they wanted to verify if I made the following charges. I informed them that I had not made the charges. They promptly cancelled my card and all the fun stuff for a stolen number.
I was glad that I took the time to listen instead of just hanging up or ignoring the phone call.
Just food for thought.

Good point. I check my bills each month I get them also. I scares me that someone might get my numbers.:cry:

You feel so violated when this happens. They did find out that it was an employee of the Disney Movie Club, that had been stealing credit card information. But I spent days retracing my steps as to where I last used it, who had access to it, what did I do wrong, etc. etc. :cry:

I got a letter from the Movie Club as well telling me of what had happened. I don't believe my card was used though.
Was yours one of the cards that was used???

I am sure you did feel that way and I bet it was tough. I know how I felt when our house was robbed yrs ago. It was on our anniversary also,.:cry: and then again 2 weeks later.:cry: They never got the person or people.:cry:

Yes, it was finally traced back to them. I thought it was funny that I sent the credit card number to them and never got charged on my credit card. I had to call each time I ordered a video. I figured that the information just never got recorded, like a change of address they seem to never imput in the computer.
The company was very appoligetic about everything.

Those people that steal from other people are just so..so...so.......:zipit:.

They just make it harder for the rest of us.

I had my car stolen and no one was caught, another vehicle was broken into twice, money stollen, etc. We could all go on about injustices. No matter how many times, it doesn't get any easier.

I am tired. It is been nothing but homework and job hunting. I'm not getting the homework done. :D

How are things with you?

Everything is okay. I just feel like we are getting deeper in debt and cant' get close to paying things off. Drs. appts are so many right now. Nothing wrong just seems like it is the yr for appts.:shrug:

Big Hugs, sweetheart. I know the feeling and George and I are just on edge with things right now. I just remember that God has seen use through this far, he won't let us down during this trying time. It may be difficult and trying but not impossible.

Thank you for saying that. You know he does things in his own time and we sometimes get overwhelmed with things but he knows what we need and when we need it. Thanks again. I forget about that at times or more times than what I want to admit.

Agree...I check my statements too. I have a general handle on how much I think the bill should be, but if it looks larger than I thought I'll really pour over it. Luckily, we only have one credit card each, so that makes it a lot easier.

Hello Nibbs
About 10 to 15 yrs ago we got ourselves into some credit problems. Nothing that we couldn't get out of but we went CC crazy. Went on some big vacations on charge. Well though the yrs we have paid off some of the cards but I still have a couple that we just don't stop charging on. Which I can't get down. With prices on everything going up it is even tougher to pay cash for things. I am trying to scrimp and save everything right now and can't seem to get anywhere.:cry:
