            How would they get the new card details?.
 Through the visa updater system
 YesSomeone would have to give them to the company. Are you telling me that VISA will give them the new card details? .I am shocked if this is the case, it must be a fairly new law as it never happened to me many years ago.
 Shocking , yes - new no
 You may have been lucky in the past . Not everyone (company) signs up to the service0

Please someone have good news for me or a solution without my benefits being delayed , I greatly appreciate any input and help offered , Thanks in advance .
 It's too late for now, but please remember that any company that asks for your credit/debit card details, including your three number security code, has only one intention and that is to take money OUT of your account. Remembering that may save you more money in the future."There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe a 'Princess Coronation' locomotive in full cry.
