Card stolen - no sympathy

1
My Nationwide credit card was stolen from me as I was boarding a tram by two females who apparently been watching me buy the tickets with the card. Contactless pad had been broken so had to enter pin which they obviously took a note of as they were in the queue behind me. As I boarded the tram I was jostled and pushed during which I was robbed of my wallet - also containing other cards and ID. As the tram pulled out of the station both jump off as the door was closing. One got her arm caught in the closing door and was pulled free on the platform by her accomplice. I immediately cancelled my other cards on the banking app but had no option other than ring the lost / stolen telephone number for the select credit card. It took in the region of 15 minutes on the phone to get to speak someone who could actually freeze the card and take my report that I had been robbed. As a consequence the offenders were able to withdraw €300 in cash on the card (I was in France at the time). As instructed by nationwide the incident was immediately reported to the local police in person and the crime report number passed immediately to the lost stolen help line. This incident occurred 10 days ago and the credit card fraud team persistently have refused to inform me what is happening as the fraudulent transaction is still showing on my account. Ironically when you call the pre recorded messages ask if you are ok and can they can help in any way but even being a 72 year old pensioner with a number of medical problems they still think I could have done more to prevent this incident.

Very easy to use. Your credit card is only a click of a button away and therefore really handy. You can transfer money into it to pay off your credit card and you can even set direct debit up into it so that you don’t have to worry about it. It helps you so that you don’t have to live paycheck to paycheck! Reviewed on: 22nd April 2025

Had a brilliant service with two employees. Very friendly, helpful and informative. Couldn’t have been happier with their cooperation with me, and I am now using my credit card to build my credit score. Reviewed on: 19th February 2021

Earn while you spend, you get cashback on every purchase you make, it adds up! The only thing I would like to see is pending transactions on the account, but other wise a great credit card Reviewed on: 9th February 2018

Awesome card for foreigners or travellers

I love this card since it allows me to use it abroad for no extra charge. I do travel a lot and it helps to keep my costs down. I'm so happy having this card, because before I used a different one and I had to pay 2% extra every time I bought something. Reviewed on: 7th May 2017

Great long term card

Great long term card with 15 month 0% condition, can't fault services of staff in branch or online either although there are fairly regular issues with mobile banking app. Reviewed on: 27th June 2016
