My credit card has been hacked!

Indeed. This is a substantive reason to use credit cards that goes over and above mere convenience.

Nevertheless, cash is king. I prefer to use it wherever possible where I don't need Section 75 protection.

can you still claim under section 75 once the balance has been cleared on the card ?

i have tried to find the answer to that question before but never found an answer.

Had the same recently. Very careful with my card, always on my person, used at 'respected' online sites only etc etc.

5 payments in rapid succession to giffgaff for £25 each and Barclaycard were straight onto it. Card cancelled new one delivered in a couple of days and all fraudulent payments refunded.

Would have been a pain to unravel with a debit card I suspect. That is why I use a credit card. Not the points but the security.

Timely thread this. My c/c card/account was fraudulently used a couple of days after I used the card to book a hotel. I thought something was up at the time but as I purchased the hotel via a link through Trivago I thought I was worrying about nothing. Two days later some tw@t used my card to book something from airbnb. The credit card company were okay about it and I have logged in today to find the fraudulent transaction gone. Obviously I now have no credit card which isn't ideal as I'm abroad but I suppose it means I'll spend less.

I suspect that no-one has asked the question before. You can still claim.

Update! All losses now refunded. However as part of the fraud a chunk of money exceeding 1K was credited to the account too which is still showing 2 weeks later. This could be good news if the company is only concerned with crediting losses......
