Credit Card, suspicious txn

dee4life2005

Here's an odd one.

I logged in to my credit card online banking site at lunchtime from the work and noticed that there was a payment made to my card of ~£5000 leaving me with a balance of almost -£4900. This was followed two days later by a CHAPS transfer back out, to exactly the value to leave the balance at £0.00.

I thought, okay possibly a typo somewhere as neither of this was by me ....

Now for the really odd bit. I get home tonight and I have had a "Funds Transfer - Credit Advice" notice through from Barclays Bank for the amount that was taken out of my credit card - and the account referenced in this letter is my old current account I held with Barclays, but haven't used for about 3 years now.

Anyone got any ideas how in the hell this has happened ... cos I'm stumped!!

Oh well, looks like I'll be heading into my branch tomorrow to try and sort out what the heck has just happened.

Best to do really. No one on here can say what has happened as it is very particular (to you).
