Just got back from the credit union...This is what I was told: Visa reported to them that my information was compromised through TJMAXX. I still don't know how they do it when I have always retained possession of my card(s)...anyways, whoever was racking up bills in California. They were also trying to obtain credit cards in my name through various stores etc., the Credit Union immediately suspended my accounts and reported it to the credit bureaus on my behalf. (I know everyone at the Credit Union)...so thank God for them, but then all the credit cards I have cancelled my accounts...and so forth. Because of the "banking days" and "business days" I won't have a new debit card until atleast Thursday...so I am screwed, so to speak.
Instead of worrying, I have officially cancelled Christmas gifting! (Not so bad). I will be spending the day contacting all my utilities, insurance etc., as today is the day the payments were to be paid. I have everything linked to my debit card. Also, I have to sit with them this afternoon and go through my entire statement (which I can no longer see online because it was closed) to verify what is and what isn't mine. That shouldn't be to hard...NOT...I use that card for everything...anyways, I suppose it could be worse.
OMG, Kathy what a pain in the arse, did they close all your accounts too?
