Wifes purse stolen :(

Was painting at my grandmas, werent more than 20 feet from her purse, 20 minutes before we finished it was just gone.  

 

There went 200 dollars, theyve already charged about 900 to her cards and were in process of cancelling them. (Cap1 cancelled 1 after the first 300 in purchases thankfully)

 

I hate this crap, its aggravating!  Now have to replace social cards, IDs, change locks on house, watch car cause im not changing those locks, we cant check the mail until we get that rekeyed (hopefully they dont steal the mail)

 

I am just pissed Smiley Tongue  Not so much that they stole all our cash for the next week and used all her cards but I dont like having to deal with this aggravating crap.

 

Anywho, just venting.  Not a happy camper today.  

 

*edit*

Reporting comenity cards as stolen, easy.  Reporting Cap1 cards as stolen, a little bit of a process.  Reporting stolen with CreditOne is an affadavit, 2 weeks of work and no reversing of charges until they receive the mailed to us and mailed back affadavit.  

I hate creditones CS.  I dont know how many times I told him our keys were stolen and we cannot get our mail and he just kept saying youll receive it in the mail in about a week.  Wouldnt transfer to a supervisor.  Done venting for today, time to clean out the car so they cant steal anything out of it then disconnect battery so they cant drive off with it.  Cant do anything about the house today, will have to pay 200 or so to have locks changed tomorrow.  YAY~!

Bummer! So sorry you have to go through all of this. Did you check with your homeowners insurance to see if anything is covered?

Sorry to hear... It is OK to vent.  Hopefully, everything is resolved quickly.

Re: Wifes purse stolen :(

My wallet was stolen from my classroom by a former student. Amex relaxed the card overnight which was amazing. Everyone else came in several days to a week. My hubby was out of town and I couldn't get cash from any of our accounts. It was a real pain getting everything replaced, especially my birth card (certificate) which was made of plastic and something my county doesn't make any longer. Knowing who stole my card didn't make it easier. he got away with it even though he was seen on camera entering and exiting my room and placing the wallet in his pants. I'm sorry this happened to you!

Re: Wifes purse stolen :(

We sent off an email to homeowners to see if anything can be covered.  Filed a police report online.  Kind of weird, I thought you would talk to someone but you call non emergency, they tell you to go to a website to file a stolen items report, you file that online and they get back to you within 5 days if it was approved and in the approval will h ave your info and case number.  

 

Yeah, extra bummer, forgot I added her to some of my actual cards as well not just the store cards.  Atleast Chase is quick and easy to deal with.  They went over limit on that card as well.  Glad I already paid  rent atleast, thats a positive and none of my checking/savings cards were in her purse.

 

So other than replacing her social security card, ID, waiting for Credit Ones affadavit and monitoring her CRs like crazy I think were mostly done with having to deal with it.  Gah I write that and then remember I need to pay out the butt for a new key for the car and have the locks changed out tomorrow on the place and I am sure theres more I forgot.

 

Yay for savings!  Goodbye to savings!  Atleast we learned a lesson Smiley Tongue  Dont bring any cards you dont need with you!  Would of been nice if we only had to replace her ID and things like that.

 

*edit*

Alright!  Found out I can put a fraud alert online!  Dont have to worry about her credit atleast.

Sorry to hear.  Hope all works out okay.  They were pretty darn fast.  Yeah, the car key is a bummer.  Very expensive!  I stopped carrying a purse and just keep my 4 cc's in my iPhone case.  Always with me.  Worried about it disappearing in the store too.  I see they look through your stuff while your in the grocery store too!

Sorry to hear about this,  I HATE thieves.  In my opinion they should cut their hands off.   (  I know, it is a bit harsh,  but that is how I feel )

I completely agree! They should have their hands cut off! I would die if my purse was stolen.

It's not just credit one that has to have an affidavit. PenFed did the same thing to me. They removed the charges 4 days after I sent it back.
