Basically
It didnt happen in the same Wal Mart it happened in Neberska!
So they told me to file a Police Report

DO I file in Austin, where I THINK the Number was stolen
Do I Call the Neberska police and report it there
Or Can I go to my local PD (Cedar Park)

I'm trying to call the family of Lawyers but they are all in Class, at Court, or out of country!

P.S. The Wall Mart in Neberska says they have the video of the guy

Mark,

The same type thing happened to me almost a year ago, and the bank took care of all of the fraudulent charges. They also encouraged me to file a police report, so I just called my local precinct Constables, since I'm in an unincorporated town, and they came to me. I filled-out a one page form and they gave me the report number. I didn't think I would ever need to reference that number again, but about a month ago, I got a letter in the mail from a collections agency. I immediately called them and told them that they had the wrong guy, and the lady asked if I had a debit card that ended in XXXX. I thought for a moment, and realized that it was the old debit card number that was stolen. Long story short, the lady said that all she needed was a copy of the police report, and the claim would be dismissed. I did that and faxed it to her, and I rec'd a letter today stating that the claim was dismissed as "fraud", and that I would not be held responsible for the debt.

PM me if you have any questions...I'll help if I can.

That's awesome that they have a video of the guy. Nail him!!

My wife doesn't even know her pin number - she always runs her Debit as Credit - never had a problem at Walmart. Interesting thing happened to us a couple weeks ago at Home Depot - the lady that was ringing up our stuff actually TOLD us to run our debit card as Credit. She said "NEVER enter your PIN number in public!" It's one thing for Joe Schmoe to say that - but for a clerk at a store to say it kinda opened my ears a bit I guess.
