The other day I was online looking at my bank checking account, balancing my check book and all that fun stuff. I noticed a withdrawl of $40. It stood out to me since I rarely withdraw any amount of money. I just never carry cash around, unless I do a book order at school of course. I spent most of the afternoon yesterday calling my bank and talking to at least a dozen different people that were no help whatsoever.
I ended up driving over to my branch, talking to the manager, who was a wonderful help. Yay! Finally. They found out the withdrawl was made at the Rose Park Branch, okay, yeah, never been there in my life, it's obviously not me. He requested a copy of the receipt, which I called about today seeing if it had come in yet. I was praying that it was just a mistake from the teller typing in the wrong number. Guess what? They couldn't find the darn thing. Isn't that just my luck? Now I get to panic about identity theft.
Now I have to call the West Jordan Police Department, file a fraud report, get a case number, give it to my bank. Then close my account, get a new number, new debit card, order new checks (I just ordered some about a month ago for my new address by the way). I hate the hassle of it all. But on the other hand, I'd rather be safe and not have to worry about having more withdrawls and thousands of dollars taken out.

So frustrating! I feel for you -- how annoying to have to do all that through no fault of your own. But better safe than sorry for sure.
Yikes! I hate how easy it is for criminals to get stuff. You're right it probably is a clerical error but it's better to be safe.
Good luck, it's better to be safe than sorry with stuff like that.
Yuck! I am sorry to hear about that. That Sounds like no fun. At least you are putting your hands to better care by changing everything. Good Luck!
Grrr...Damn thefts! I wish you luck with all the "stuff" your gonna have to deal with!
That scares the crap out of me! Good luck with changing everything-such a pain!
