It's time once again for the annual hunt. Many will be armed with their trusty credit cards. With the arrival of the holiday season comes an increase in the use of credit cards and also a rise in the number of cards that are lost or stolen.
Most thefts take place on weekends and in crowded situations such as shopping centers.
If your cards are lost of stolen, immediately notify the card issuers so they can stop charges on the cards. Follow up calls with letters, keep copies of all correspondence.
