602. I lost my credit card, or it was stolen. What should I do?
Call the issuer right away. Somewhere in the papers that came with
the card is an 800 number to call. If you can't find those papers,
look on a current bill and call the "inquiries" number there. If
you can't find a current bill, look up the bank's number in the

a report.
The important thing is to move fast. Once you have reported the
card lost or stolen, you are not liable for any further charges on
the account.
