    Juliejim Happy Birthday.

    Boy am I glad this site has taught me to check off my statements, just spotted two transactions for £9.95 each grrrrrrrrrr both unauthorised.

    Having rung up various people in relation to them, it seems that I bought something and 'agreed' to join a monthly subscription of £9.95 per month, as I bought some thing twice, it seems I have 2 subs per month (lucky me!!)

    The company in question is not answering its phones today 'owing to a technical problem'

    Managed to get my credit card company to take the 2 charges for December,but they say I have to pay November's, you wait till that company are taking calls, I have sent them a really snotty email.

    I also did a forum search for said company and lo and behold it comes up with a large thread about others being caught out like me! I think I am going to forum search each company before I buy in future!

    I want my £9.95 x 2 back it my money not theirs. grrrrrr

    Sorry ladies as you were.


    Can you say who the company is, I never check my statements :o

    Just seen this on the BBC website, a virus is targeting facebook users and obtaining credit card details. Please be careful on the links you are clicking there.

    I should think so tsk tsk. I check all my statements even though I have already checked it online before they arrive! I keep them for 2 years as well.

    ooooo just got to say it's almost Christmas :D Radio Times is out, going to have a snoop through and then do some work before Pigpen notices :p

    I got the week before Christmas one and there's not much in worth watching (well not stuff I'd be interested in anyway :confused:). I hope the Christmas and new year one has some better stuff in it.
