I was bidding for a radio/minidisc player for the car today when the statement for our credit card arrived. We had to cancel the card immediately because some (insert expletive of choice here) has obviously cloned the card and has been using it to buy tickets for Ukraine Air and Lufthansa, to a total of just under 900 UK pounds. The CC company has credited us with the money that has been spent, so we lost nothing, but it has caused us grief as several direct debits are due before we will get a new card, but what has *really* cheesed me off is having to back away from an auction I was determined to win. &^%$£'s!

It's a lot more polite than I put it, but yeah, that about sums it up.

It's likely to get worse as the accounts department of my ISP (Pipex)is in complete disarray. Not being able to take money this month is likely to cause meltdown.

Sounds like it's time to switch ISPs....

Unfortunately I'm locked into a 12 month contract with about 5 months to go. Come May, they won't be able to see me for dust.

Just a little update. I asked my brother to bid for a car minidisc player yesterday and he won it for me. A better head unit than the one I was bidding for originally, and cheaper too, so I'm a happy camper again.
