eskimobasecamp 0 Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 there's no fraud - but i think they are interested in the activity on my account - they want to know why my credit card is in japan buying skis in america, visas in australia and bus tickets in new zealand! it's ok just have to call the uk and verify my transactions. as for my car insurance, just have to cancel the old one from friday ---- but yeh i may wait and change companies like you suggested, as actually i'm not happy about the coverage from my current insurance provider. i'll email tatsu --- there's not huge rush i guess, because i won't drive that car until august.
