Stopped for a cookie at the Tollhouse cookie place and *gasp* forgot my purse. 20 minutes later, I went back, and it was behind the counter.
Then I went to Target to buy a really pretty sweater, and Target said there was a problem with my ATM card.
Got home and had an email from B of A saying there was suspicious activity on my account, so I logged in, and lo and behold, there was a $1200 charge to a Countrywide branch in Fresno. Bwuah?
So, I called the number in the email and went through the identify verification junk, and was reviewing purchases with the guy on the line. After a few, he said, "Well, that seems like everything's okay, then."
So I pointed out the Countrywide charge. He was a touch confused, saying it had been "approved." Well, yeah, I had enough funds to cover it, but there's the slight problem wherein I wasn't in Fresno today and I don't have a mortgage -- with Countrywide or anyone else.
So he turned off my ATM card and gave me another number I have to call tomorrow. Then they will mail me an affidavit to sign, so that they can put the funds back in my account.
Meanwhile, I have to figure out if I have any other automatic payments due in the interim -- luckily, the cell phone, TiVo, and Netflix all went through yesterday...but I have to check about my car insurance.
