AARGH! Having to get a new credit card number is a PAIN IN THE ASS! |
|
On the plus side: CitiBank caught a "weird" charge attempt from the UK for almost $400 and blocked it.
On the FUCKED UP SIDE: I had to cancel that number and have them issue a new one for the account. That was about three months ago and I'm STILL finding places that were on auto-pay, auto-renew, or just a stored number (like Papa John's). I just got off the phone with the newspaper. They called yesterday and I fixed the problem but it hadn't posted until a few minutes into the call I got today.
I try to minimize such problems by keeping as much of this shit as possible on one card. Guess which card got hit with the scam this time!

1. I have been endlessly annoyed by one of my credit cards |

calling to verify charges. But they came through for me when I stupidly signed up for a "free 30 day trial" product on a website to discover that I had to return the remaining product within 2 weeks AND call to cancel (the product arrived in 12 days) and the number you called never answered OR they would keep shipping you product for $80/pop. So, in other words I got two days to try the product and decide to return or be subjected to charges.
The credit card company reversed ALL the charges when I complained to them.

2. In general, the CC company will side with the consumer in disputes like that. |

The burden of proof is on the vendor.
