The people behind her were probably being quite nice because there's no way they should have hit her.

Glad Mrs TV is ok. Sorry to hear about the Nissan Square.

Arse! That is a big nay-two different things, too? The one should not lead to the other, after all, ut least not with UK accounts.

I've got a direct debit set up to pay my cc off every month.

Thanks but the box lives another day! It was 'the family car', the Vauxhall Meriva that got smacked.

Oh, grayscale o awful news. Was it a UK bank/credit card company? It’s completeky understandable the stress and paranoia, but hopefully the credit card company will get it sorted quickly. Do you have a service whereby you can be alerted when you’ve spent over a certain amount? If so it may be worth setting that quite low if you perhaps do not check your credit card account so often. Really I am surprised that the cc company did not query the transactions being so many of the exact type fraudsters use.

Credit card companies are usually really good at detecting any sort of unusual activity on a card, I'm surprised the scammers managed to get away with so many transactions over a two month period. (Unless the scammers are doing some sort of super-sophisticated 'profile matching' to slip under the radar.)

Then my friend at work paid extra to Barclay Card for some sort of enhanced fraud protection.

I can't think of a single reason for
a) this to exist, and
b) to pay for it

Although the fact that your friend paid for it is probably enough for (a).

He does love his insurance though, always had gap on his car

So, so sorry to hear that very difficult news. It’s good that you were able to talk, openly and fairly, so that you know your dad has peace and acceptance in his mind, and do that you can find comfort in that. Hoping for the best for your dad and your family, and sending love to you xxx

What Mimi said as eloquently as ever, being able to talk about it with him is something you will be eternally grateful for in the future. Thoughts with you chap.

Thanks, Zardoz. Not long after I made that post, my brother messaged me to say that Dad had soiled himself and they'd put him in his own room to avoid the possible spread of infection. Not good that it had to come to that, but hopefully he's at least had a peaceful night.
