Last night a programme on television described how over a billion pounds is taken from customers accounts without them knowing. This could be from mistaken bank charges or from mistaken transactions. At worse, they can be from people cloning your card details or another type of fraud.
| Top Tip: |
| When you recieve your bank statement, dont just put it in a pile unopened, look at at and see if it tallies with the transactions you have carried out. If there are mistakes, ring the bank as soon as you can |
Banks will help as they want to beat fraud, and its also a good way of highlighting where your money goes. This can help when planning to get out of debt or save some money too.
