I know this has already been done <\/a>but after the day i’ve had i don’t care!<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago i briefly mentioned i’d had some big news<\/a><\/p>\n

This is it<\/p>\n

\"Another<\/p>\n

Baby number two on the way!<\/p>\n

Picture is from the 12 week scan and we got to see the little one kicking it’s legs around which was fantastic!<\/p>\n

Currently expected January 2009 so still a long way to go<\/p>\n

Better make some more deals to pay for all the mouths i have to feed!<\/p>\n

So what could have ruined my day after\u00a0such a happy afternoon?<\/p>\n

I arrived home to a letter from the bank telling me i’m overdrawn<\/p>\n

I thought this a bit odd as i’ve not had any major purchases recently<\/p>\n

I logged onto the online banking and i found a transaction from Brighthouse<\/a>\u00a0that i certainly didn’t make<\/p>\n

I spent fifteen minutes on hold to an 0845 number (further to my post a couple of days ago about not having a landline,<\/a> i was calling on a mobile and this isn’t included in my free minutes!)<\/p>\n

I then had to jump through a series of hoops (including being asked if i wanted to buy identity theft insurance!) until i was put through to the “fraud team”<\/p>\n

I was told that the purchase had taken place over the phone from the Bransholme branch (in Hull…hundreds of miles from where i live)<\/p>\n

The result is i’ve had my card cancelled and i’ve got some paperwork to fill out and i’ve also got to ring my branch tomorrow to let them know about the situation and stop me getting charged any further<\/p>\n

I’m still puzzled as to how this happened. Also surely the fact the card billing address is nowhere near the store would raise some eyebrows?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
