in Credit cards
I've just had a credit card statement where there's a payment of over £800 to wonga.com. ( I've never used them or paid off any debt for anyone else for them or any other company. )
The cards not been out of my sight when I've used it, and I'm quite careful online, so I'm not sure how anyone has got hold of the details. Which is quite worrying. There's only me in the house, and I trust my work colleagues which is the only place my bag is left unattended, and no-one else has access.
So the cards cancelled and the card company is sending out the paperwork to say it's nothing to do with me.
Only I'm wondering if there's anything else I should be doing - contact wonga directly or leave that to the credit card company? And how do I check my other debit/credit cards are ok?
Thanks

All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

Leave it to them - technically it is not you that has been defrauded but the credit card company.0

Agreed no further action required, your card details have been compromised somewhere but that is no fault of your own0
