Got off of work last night, swung by the store and picked myself up some beer for the weekend. For whatever reason, my check card was denied, no big deal I thought, get the credit card out and away we go.
Went to go get a haircut this morning and once again, my check card was denied. Okay, this is getting interesting. So I get home to call my bank to find out what's going on. The bank reports that a hold has been placed on my account as some loser in Great Britian has attempted to use the numbers on my check card! FWIW, i've never been to Great Britian and neither has my wife.
Man, what a hassle to close out the existing checking account, open up a new one, etc. Thankfully, my bank is going to monitor outstanding checks and bill pays that I had already set up through the bank's website and do the necessary funds transfer so that everything clears.
