A rought 2016 so far
So I guess I should write a blog or something.
Well now! What a wonderful 2016 I've had so far! Get a text message from the bank on new-years eve that 500EUR was taken from my credit card that I didn't know or approve of. This is a credit card that's already way over the red for me and I was trying to restore. Now I know who took it, I just didn't know why. So I did what anybody probably would do when faced with an unauthorized transaction and that is to call the bank and block the card. Done and dusted. Then comes the part where I lodge a dispute with the bank for a fraudulent transaction. Something that would apparently take up to 45 days to resolve.
So I'm down on the little bit of "money" I had left to pay for food an Internet access. In fact, my credit card is now maxed out, my current account is depleted. So is my savings account.
Fast forward a week or so and my bank accounts are basically depleted. I have about 200EUR left in savings and enough held up in the stock market to pay off my credit card.
Today I'm a brand new person! Blank slate. I have 200 EUR against my name and that's it. The bank labelled the above-mentioned dispute as invalid (they didn't seem to be too eager to resolve it) and left me with no choice but to drop them and go to another bank.
New financial life. Blank slate. New bank account. I guess it can just go well going forward.
Nevertheless, this turmoil has detracted me from working on my website, so that's not going well. I have few videos to make for a post I've worked on, for what it's worth.
All the luck to me I guess. Have fun guys!
PS... If you're a p***** like me, don't get involved with icelotto.com. They'll just take all your money whether you want to or not.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately the bank couldn't/wouldn't help me out so that money is lost to me.
Sorry to hear about the credit card issue. It happens to the best of us. Good companies handle it right away. So maybe it was a blessing in disguise that you moved to another bank.
One thing I noticed when I'm trying to work on my business and about to make a break through, crap starts to hit the fan.
I know I must be close to doing something good because thats when all the distractions come up. So just keep your eyes on the prize.
