    Man, I misplaced my Credit Card, and i knew it was in my place I just needed to find it

    just in case i asked them if they could put the card on hold, and they wouldn't, instead they just cancelled my card and sent me a new one.

    which then all my autopays
    my cell phone bill (including both my parents)
    my electricity
    my apartment insurrance
    and cable and internet
    etc

    all sent me bad letters saying my card wasn't accepted
    and some of them ended up cancelling my subscriptions very quickly




    oh yeah, and i found my card a few days later too

    better to be safe than sorry, easy to sort out a new subscription (well relatively) but gonna be a pain, if you loose $$$$ to fraud

    I think it's just in case someones picks up your card and uses it, maybe call/write a letter to all the companies explaining what happened ><
