Wife had a warning off Halifax about an attempt to take £45 after a link came to her about free easter eggs, that payment was stopped, she had a new card/new numbers

today £45 went out on her OLD (stopped) card

now chasing Halifax for the reason why they paid out

    Seems payment was taken by the NEW card as VISA updated our details!

  • Halifax agreed either they, or VISA were in the wrong and repaid it instantly
