The moaning old git thread

[2112]

The Mrs has had her bank card hacked - again. She's on the third card this year (new number each time) and it's getting tiresome. It was £39.99 for a PC game this time, apparently. To be fair to Nationwide they spotted it and put a stop on the card. It's frustrating as we are going on holiday at the weekend and her card won't arrive in time. Hangings too good for 'em etc.

Sorry to hear this ..  it's happening often these days and, some years ago now, have had my entire current account emptied ..   

Ever since, I've refused to use my bank debit card for my daily spending , instead I use a credit card and pay it off within the interest free period. 

Feel safe now knowing everything I buy Is insured, it's less likely to be cloned and it does wonders for my credit rating..

That's a good call. We have an astronomical credit limit on our credit card and hardly ever use it. Currently sitting with the balance at £0 as it has been for about 6 months...
