? about Home Depot security...

I know there is a security problem at HD. We only use our Home Depot card there. We also only go to one store, so our card will be easy to monitor. If there are charges on our card from any other store, we would notice.

We don't have to worry, do we?

Re: ? about Home Depot security...

You use a Home Depot card? Have they notified you about what they want you to do? Just monitor your account, replace the card, etc?

We used our Discover Card there a few times. I watch our Discover account daily anyway, but they put a banner on their homepage last week or the week before saying that, for right now, just monitor, don't request new cards.

So, for right now, I'm going to just keep watching our Discover account.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

The problem was resolved. Even if someone used your card, you are not liable.

So, no worries!

I've been offered one-year of free credit monitoring. My husband had used our credit union CC there several times.

I'm still under the one year of free credit monitoring from the Target security breach. So, it should help me with this breach also- LOL.

I've been through two card breaches recently, terrier. It is a PITA to get all of my auto payments switched over when a new card arrives. The cards need to be made more secure.

It's a major hassle to switch payments and wait for a new card.

One time my card was declined because the bank closed it and hadn't notified me.

I was declined once, too, for the same reason -- annoying and embarrassing.

I was so embarrassed. I was really upset that they didn't at least notify us beforehand.
