I'm in a really sh*tty mood tonite, cos I think I've lost my credit card and I'm trying to decide whether or not to pull the plug and report it lost or keep looking and hoping. The repercussions are significant:

1 I lose the number I've memorised for years.

2 Several automatic payments have to be changed.

3 Internet banking disrupted...change numbers...arrange for business accounts to be reconnected.

4 I don't even know how to access cash these days without that card!

The worst bit is that, as soon as I report it lost, I'll find the bloody thing and the cancellation that ocurs as soon as it's reported lost can't be reversed.

Still, as Grampa z used to say: "worse things happen at sea".

Zeke,

Cant you just call the bank and put a temporary hold on your card and explain the situation, or alternativley have them reduce your credit limit donw to a few hundred bucks until you find it?

Good luck, sounds like there are better things you could do with your time :censored:

Hi Mondie

It doesn't work like that...all or nothing apparently.

Minor hassle compared with yours though...I can't believe the latest U-turn. Will keep watching you progress and hoping something eventually goes the way it should.

Regards

We always wondered why he wasn't peterbed about being carted around in the 460 powered Fairlane from the get go. :censored:

That would be a little bit strange. I know when we had our FC LTD with a Blueprinted 351, Mum would have to give me a Phenergun and about a pound of Special K to keep me asleep when we went anywhere.

I can Imagine a big block making a little bit more rumble than a Clevo... :censored:

What about taking out a cash advance upto the limit of the card, if you only need it for a day it will only cost you a little in interest vs the rooting around of cancelling the card etc. That will stop any dodgy business until you know its MIA for good.

Yep, New oak Ford Lumpy, and dont you forget it :censored:

Woke up at 3.30am & called Walbro Fuel systems in Michigan. Yanks let you talk for hours just to hear your accent. Nice people, think I'll go email from now on, not much else to do at that time of day, except sleep
