Not Feeling Safe...
Well.... it finally happened to me; I found out this morning that there has been fraudulant activity on my account through my debit card. Sears Satellite and Sears Lynn Davis (???) I don't even know what Lynn Davis is... is it a line at Sears?
The thing is... I rarely have a balance large enough to make any significant charges... so I feel like it's a bizarre coincidence that the one weekend I finally have a large balance (now that I am taking charge of collecting the rent for all roommates)... has someone been watching my account??? It just leaves me feeling exposed!
Anyway.... prayers and support are requested.... and I will keep you updated as I find out more information... I plan on pressing charges to the full extent of the allowable law.
I do have an update already... because of the quick notice from my Credit Union... I was able to file the necessary reports and claims right away... and I had the fraud activity hit my bank yesterday (made it overdrawn by $1100!) and they credited it back to my account the same day! That rarely happens with them due to the number of claims they normally have every day like that... I do feel angelic intervention occured!
I still have some residual account fees hitting that need to be resolved, but they have been taking care of that almost as instantly as they have been hitting. I feel very blessed to be allowed the challenge of feeling this life experience and knowing that I *am* SAFE and only by having experienced the opposite of safe am I able to KNOW safe. I am grateful for the life lesson!
