Fortunately I picked up my phone yesterday afternoon while in the middle of work, mainly because I was puzzled as to why I was getting a call from Peoria, IL; the only thing/person I know there is my credit union (CEFCU). It was them with a nice lady from the Visa department. The Visa company (I guess it’s a clearing house) has been breached yet again so my card has been shut off for security purposes. Somara’s is fine though. How soon would I get a replacement? Seven to 10 days. However, I will get it Monday via FedEx at the credit union’s expense. I told the lady to send the bill to the Visa people for the poor security.
It’s not as crippling as the whole Sony debacle which didn’t really affect us; if Netflix functioned on a regular basis, I didn’t care.
These incidents are starting to grow in their frequency but remember, in America, you’re branded a Communist for even thinking about corporations being held accountable for their inaction or irresponsibility. Now to talk to Somara’s credit union about getting a card with them for back-up purposes.
If this happened to you recently, I am curious, please let me know.
Hello, sorry to hear about the credit card problems. This is the first I have heard about problems with cards.
