PLANNING A VACATION?

DO YOU TAKE CASH, YOUR DEBT/CREDIT CARD OR A GIFT CARD?

I NOW ALWAYS TAKE GIFT CARDS!

HERE'S WHY:

I was 15 in Hawaii with my family using my debt card to shop.....get home everything is still fine.

4 days later, I'm trying to buy gas and my card is being declined. Not understanding why, I buy $10 worth of gas in cash (thank god I had at least that) & head to the bank to see whats going on.

Apparently I was still having a great time in Hawaii.

My entire checking account had been wiped out & had hit the max overdraft protection

my bank allowed.

Meanwhile, apparently a 15 year old has great credit.....

"I" had purchased a horse trailer, opened 2 credit cards & attempted to purchase a house!

All of this happened to me in 4 days & the person was able to do all this

just by copying my debt card while on vacation!!

Nothing like being a teenager, coming into the credit world with crappy credit!!!

I took over 4 months to get even a portion of the stolen funds back,

and still to this day if I am purchasing anything on credit or even opening a checking account

I have to bring my "fraud case" envelope (full of police reports & notarized documents)

to prove it wasn't me & why those items are on my credit report!
