    Credit card fraud:

    Card stopped.

    Fraudster phones credit card company;
    CCC: let me take you through security. Mother's maiden name?

    Fraudster hangs up. Does research.

    F: gives mothers maiden name!

    compromises card, transaction authorised. Phones store who reauthorises the order for over £10k.

    School girl error!

    I was looking at a week old list while I was in asda and bought john frieda stuff and alberto balsam. The AB is on the updated list but the JF isn't :o

    Ah well. An hour or so and I'll be finding out just how badly I messed up! That's what happens when you don't refresh!

    DS1 was cheapest with Directline, DS2 with Admiral multi car. Both had the cars in their name with us as named (not main) drivers.

    HTH.

    Thanks.
    Quote was over 3.5k with Admiral!
    Just under 2 with multi car!
    The search continues....

    Did you do both in one shop?

    Could be lucky with the JF and it may compare to Waities

    If it's a disaster and you didn't use APGs, take back and try again.

    Thanks.
    That's interesting I didn't realise it worked like that.
    More than came out the cheapest initally at 1300. Didn't realise you were rewarded for good driving. I think it's a great idea.
    Will have a look.

    Not sure how others work, but Co Operative were the cheapest for my son, and wish the cashback every 90 days, even better.
    Are we having a picture of our Xmas trees.....Mine going up on the weekend but I would like to see other peoples trees...So love Xmas...:j:j:xmastree:

    I would but its in holiday house and didnt take a picture, and not up there until 9 December, so can post after that.
