oh, Leilandri, that sucks big time. I really would have thought the police could do something about someone cloning your card - it seems ridiculous that they won't.
Could you not argue that withdrawing £300 is unusual behaviour for you? Was it at a time/place that you usually use a cashpoint? Aren't these things that trigger suspicion with banks when criminals use other people's cards to buy goods? Also, if you get nowhere with the bank, is it worth writing to your MP to raise the issue?
As others have said, ask the bank to check CCTV and do let us know how you get on. I hope you manage to have a good trip away next week, regardless.
July was fairly good for us, but I envisage a bit of a spendy weekend - MrEconomy needs new shoes so will be heading to TK Maxx this pm. I also need new slippers and will check out their maternity stuff while we're there.
We've decided not to go to my cousin's wedding in Paris in December. I'll be 7 months' pregnant and my husband isn't that keen on straying too far from home. It'll be a long ceremony and involve lots of standing/waiting around, and they'll be having some sort of do over here in the UK for my gran (94 so not going) and other people who can't make it, so we'll just go to that. So that saves shelling out for eurostar, hotels, meals and a passport for our son that we'd only use once.
