At least the bank clocked it. I noticed a transaction on my account a couple of years back that I didn't do, and get it refunded straight away - but still a little concerning as I rarely have time to check my statements!

Apparently CC fraud has risen sharply recently, so people really should check statements!

I also got charged twice for a tank of fuel a couple of years back - again lucky I noticed! Took the recept back to Shell to get a refund, checked statement and they managed to charge me AGAIN! Got the double refund and a bottle of wine off them in the end, but really goes to show that people should check statements!

I had £13,500 nicked when someone intercepted my new card, jacked up the credit limit and then drew £1000 cash from the bank counter every day plus £500 at the cash point!

Bank cleared the debt without a murmur.

In Gran canaria I was silly enough to use my credit card, they swiped my card 3 times for the same transaction
