Saw an article this morning about how chip and PIN security on debit / credit cards can be bypassed http://resources.zdnet.co.uk/articles/0,1000001991,40022669,00.htm In case it happens to anyone, the regulations are now clear Quote from FSA http://bit.ly/cf4kDu Full link http://www.moneymadeclear.fsa.gov.uk/news/product/payment_services_regulations.html Unauthorised transactions â if you think a transaction on your account was not authorised by you, the bank or building society will need to prove either that you authorised it, or that you either deliberately or carelessly allowed someone else to get hold of your password or PIN. Just because your PIN was used will not necessarily be enough to prove that this is the case. Unless the bank or building society can prove this, it will have to refund your account immediately. If it can show that it needs to investigate the claim, then that investigation must be done quickly (within a few days). End Quote I believe this means that the financial institution needs to show that you were careless. Not you prove you were not. -- Henry Photocopies or faxes of my signature are not binding.
