Cancelling A Credit Card
5 Answers
Is there a safe, foolproof way of cancelling a credit card?
We wanted to cancel our Marbles cards as they had been compromised (someone had tried and failed to make online and phone purchases).
Phoning Marbles was a joke. No-one answered for ten, twenty minutes at a time. Their 'security' phone line was giving out a message that their opening hours were 8am to 8pm, so they'd gone home! Eh?
CPP (Card Protection Plan) weren't any use. I made the mistake of telling them I hadn't lost the card - if I'd lost it, they could have cancelled it, but as it was 'only' compromised, I had to do it myself. By phoning Marbles (there's a hole in my bucket...)
Finally I got through to someone at Marbles who was helpful and cancelled the cards.
But this is ridiculous! Supposing the card had been stolen, and a thief was busy helping themself to cash from ATMs etc? Then what. The police wouldn't want to know (too small). So there HAS to be an easy-to-access phone number for immediate cancellations.
Does anyone know what it is?

Which number did you ring. There is usually a number on the card to ring for reporting lost & stolen cards.
the website says:
To report your card lost or stolen call us on:
0333 220 2692* (from the UK)
+44 (113) 244 9747 (from abroad)
Unfortunately I can't see anywhere where it says what the asterisk means.
If the phones are only available at certain times that is not good.
