No thanks to Holland and Barrett!

Only £10 for such inconvenience! DH was once similarly inconvenienced by a bank error and was offered £100. He said that was nothing like enough for the upset and they said, 'OK how much would you like?'. He named an amount and they paid up!

Update 12/02
H+B admitted liability and will send a 10.-- voucher.
Keep fighting for your rights girls!

yes 24/7 for banks and I used one a couple of months ago on a saturday. Card was cancelled immediatel

Never click on a link wrt money in an e mail. Do it via the online store direct. Sounds like a scam tbh and the bank has been on the ball by freezing the cards. Good to have cash in the house for necessities

The bank has sent me texts a couple of times questioning unusual transactions

They were very helpful when I phoned

As has been mentioned they are available 24/7 for queries

I found my current a/c had been emptied, because I got a demand for interest, I am never overdrawn, so I knew it was a huge mistake. It was the weekend and I got an awful fright. I phoned an emergency number which I found, and they discovered it was a banking error at the branch. So scary. I requested a written apology signed by the manager, for my bank file, because I was afraid my credit would have been compromised. I hope yours is sorted quickly.

Banks here are open 9 am - 1 pm on Saturday. If cards are stopped, you can take ID, answer some security questions and get cash out to last until new cards are issued.

What was the outcome with your bank Evianers ? Presume it must be resolved by now ?

I hope you get it sorted out tomorrow Evianers , although banks are open 365/24/7 with telephone banking .

There's a number for the fraud department on the back of cards. They definitely work at weekends

Can you call telephone banking and ask them to look into it? They might be able to give you an answer there and then.

@NotaGran55 - unfortunately it is the weekend. The bank is closed. Will be there first thing Monday morning. Whatever happened - cards, Paypal etc. simply do not work any more.

I have had problems with cards being compromised but not with Holland and Barrett.
I've never had a problem with ordering on line with them.

Click and collect means that your order will be sent from the warehouse to a particular store for you to pick up at a later date; it will not be taken from the stock in that store.

My debit card was cloned once. Because I regularly check my account online I spotted a deduction that I hadn't made very quickly and phoned the bank. They were great. Made arrangements for me to have a one off cash payment to last until my new card arrived.

I stopped using debit cards after our was 'copied'? and used before we realised. Only use credit cards now unconnected to our bank accounts. At least the money doesn't go out of your a/c straight away.

Have you actually spoken to your bank Evianers ? What have they told you .

It’s not very likely that 2 users of an account would both be locked out unless you have tried to use both cards, and had trouble with PIN and passwords on both .

I don't know but it sounds as if Evianers had put her card details in and was then having trouble doing what she wanted to do. By this time the red flag would go up on her a/c.
Once you have entered your card details ( and there are problems) that's when they will be alerted.

Most fraudsters don't start with a large amount. They go in small to see if they can scam your card. If that works, then they go for the larger amounts.

I think you need to find out what's happening with the bank fraud department. I can't see how H&B can corrupt your cards like this, and your bank account too? It sounds as though something else has been going on and the bank has taken control.

How can your card be 'corrupted'?

Evianers
I hope that you will be sending H&B a stinking email.
In that email, don't ask them how they are going to compensate you, you decide by how much you want to be compensated by.
That's where a lot of people go wrong when asking for compensation. Don't ask. You tell them because most times they make an offer, people accept and they breath a sigh of relief because they got off lightly.

That is a dreadful situation, I hope it is resolved soon.
It obviously doesn’t help that is the weekend.
Technology is fine until it goes wrong and then it goes wrong in a big way.
