It's happened to me a couple of times. The banks were really good about dealing with it. I hope it goes well for you too.

This happened to me a few years ago, on a payday Friday, no less. Expecting to be able to get groceries and whatnot, my card was declined. I ran home & looked online to find someone had run off the entire contents of my bank account at places like Bed Bath & Beyond's web site. I'd never even been in a BB&B at that point in my life. Called the bank. The charges were eventually reversed (along with numerous NSF charges) but my account was frozen for the entire weekend (and a few days beyond) and Dan and I couldn't so much as go get gas in the car as a result.

Don't hope you will ever hear from your bank about who did it and whether or not they caught anyone. I was told they strictly don't divulge that information.

Hey - that credit report charge could be more trouble coming. Keep after it.
