Yes that is what we are afraid of. We are ultra careful and the card has not been out of my posession. We do use it for online purchases but only with secure well known companies. Barclaycard are sending us forms to complete re the disputed item, meanwhile they are taking it off our account. Thanks for your concern - will keep you informed.

Hi Lizzy40, gillie35 Thanks for your input. I can no longer access my On-line Barclaycard statement now as Barclaycard have closed the account until we get our new cards. It is definitely not a genuine transaction and for now Barclaycard have suspended it from our account pending their enquiries. Because of the amount involved I am obviously very concerned. Will let you know what happens next ! L.

Hi Lizzy40, Gillie35 and all CCS searchers While checking my Barclaycard statement on line today I found a debit of over £2000 to this mystery company. It appeared as CCS RB collections Westcliff On. I rang Barclaycard immediately as I have certainly not authorised this payment and it has been suspended. I checked on Google and found this thread - all very mysterious and worrying. My husband and I only have one joint credit card and have no connection with any other banks or credit cards. Barclaycard have stopped our card and are issueing new ones and new pin numbers but I would like to get to the bottom of it if possible.
