Credit Card Theft – 3 Life Saving Tips

Credit card theft can happen to anyone. You may have your credit cards stolen or lose them somewhere. What you do when you realize their loss is critical to cutting your losses. Common sense dictates that you inform the provider instantly. But before you do so you need to have a certain amount of information ready for verification. This is why, if you use and carry credit or debit cards, you need to have a list with the following information:
1. Card number, date of issue, expiry date, and the secret number (3 numbers) on the back of the card.
2. The 24×7 telephone number of the credit or debit card provider and their email id
3. The direct contact person for the “human touch” and reporting in case the automated call center line is not responding
4. An alternative source for urgent payments until the credit/debit cards are re-issued
