I was informed by my bank nine months ago that my account details had been violated as someone in Italy tried to cash a cheque using my details. The bank advised me to close my account and re-open another which I did. I also reported it to the garda siochana. I was told by my bank that it was nothing to do with their systems. I was very upset ( silly I know) but I accepted that it was a common occurence. However, I have now found out that a direct debit has been set up with my digital TV account using my new bank details and I have paying this person's digital since my new account was opened!Needless to say I have had borderline paranoia with my bank details since the last incident so I am now really concerned as to how my details were available to this unnamed person.
The bank has told me they are looking into it and again I reported it to the Garda. The bank has refunded the money. The digital TV company told me they had no way of checking if two payments are coming from the same account with different names and addresses being used and it was nothing to do with them.
I suppose I am wondering is there anything I can do? Is there an issue with bank security and should I report it anywhere else as international banking fraud is not my area of expertise...Any advice appreciated.
