Credit Card Fraudulent Charges

in Credit cards
Discovered this evening fraudulent charges amounting to hundreds of pounds going back months on a pre-paid card that I use for eveyday purchases.
The charges follow a pattern of a 'foreign exchange fee' of varying amounts between 80p - 180p followed by a fee of between £26 - £47 for various strange descriptions of services immediately after, seemingly always in US dollars.
I'll admit I rarely check my spending on the card but was a bit shocked to find this. No, I'm not loaded but earn enough to not have to watch every penny. I've obviously put a stop on the card online for now.
I'll obviously be contacting (cashplus) tomorrow a.s.a.p. but what's the procedure here?

You dispute the charges.
Expect them to query why you're only just raising it now.0 -
Why do you have a prepaid card loaded with hundreds of pounds more than you expect to spend ? :huh:0
