credit card woes

[erilyn]

I just discovered a bogus $US600 charge on my credit card, which fortunately was reversed the day after it was made last week. But I'm freaked out that it was made in the first place, and annoyed that there's a $17 currency exchange fee that hasn't been reversed.

Guess I'm going to the bank tomorrow. Hope I don't have to cancel the card.

Went to the gym tonight, I've been so slack in the last 2-3 weeks. I have to make it to the gym at least 3 times a week this month (4 would be better). I should probably set myself a reward to go with this goal, but at the moment it'd be along the lines of "if I achieve this, I won't punch myself in the head repeatedly".

I know what you are going through. I'm still changing automatic deductions because I had to cancel one of my cards. I also found $600 in charges that weren't mine. Somebody is getting a lot of gasoline on my account. Even though it is a major pain, I would recommend closing the account and getting a new number. I lost a card back in February and the last place I used it at was the place where the charges were made so I am a little suspicious. At that time, they canceled the card but didn't close the account. In hindsite, I should have had them close the account. But I'm letting Discover handle all that.

Hope the bank doesn't give you any trouble.
