[Rangdo]

and the 3 digit security code while your'e at it!!!

If it's telling you to contact your issuer most likely it's been cancelled/frozen either because you got the PIN wrong three times, reported theft, unusual purchasing behaviour etc.

pin wrong 3 times, the ATM would take your card! maybe the magstrip/chip is faulty.. check another machine, or call the bank to check, and get a replacement.

Depends which bank I guess. I've done it before and it just locked me out but let me keep the card. I just had to ring the bank for them to unfreeze it so I could start using it again.

Card number is 1616161616161616 and the code is 999

No wonder it was declined, the BIN is not even valid

I had my card cloned once, I have a suspicion it was at a petrol station in Crawley, as I worked in the town and there was a spate of card frauds involving petrol stations up that way.

Someone managed to spend about £400 on my account in one day using a clone of my debit card. Fortunately, Barclays noticed it straight away and contacted me the same day to ask if I'd been splashing the cash in London.

When I said no, and confirmed I still had my card in my possession, I got all the money back.

My credit card was used to transport a 14 and 10 year asylym seekers from South Africa. I had applied for tickets for a show in London on the internet and my number was copied and used to the tune of £1,000 in some sort of scam involving - lets just say "non nationals". Fraud squad rang me at work one day after the bank had given them my number. They wanted to know had I given permission for my card to be used in South Africa.

The seekers were returned to Africa and my card wasn't debited.

Made for an exiting couple of days.

Obviously wasnt a very secure site. Which one was it so we know where to avoid.

Was trying to book for Phantom of the Opera when it was on in London a few years back. You had to give credit card details first and then you were told whether seats were available. If not then obviously nothing was debited to your card - well other than the odd asylum seekers plane fare of course.

The Link network was down earlier today, and also for a period yesterday.

This is why your card wasn't read

My card wasn't accepted earlier at the club shop, went through fine second time though. Nevertheless I shall be watching my statement online like a hawk for the next few days...

Mrs P had her card rejected on Saturday in Debenhams. God knows why - there was plenty of money it the account having just been paid. 10 minutes later she went to the cashpoint and withdrew the cash instead and it was fine. Something wrong with the system I guess - but darned annoying. No matter what you say, you always get that look from the assistant.

Hopefully your credit limit is about £200k and the club can get themselves a striker now

To be honest - its probably an embarrasseed one - when someone gets declined when im working, its really embarrassing to explain to the customer that its been declined. Also very frustrating, as we tend to get blamed by the customer!!!!

 

[robbied69]

Spot on Bluejuice. Went to Barclays and they said a number of customers today were having problems.

 

[Bluejuice]

'fraid so.

It's across Europe as well, not just us in the UK. France & Slovenia are both suffering outages too.

Causing proper havoc!

Sadly I'm about £300 into a £500 overdraft - still, does double the budget I guess.

 

[Croydonbloke]
