Ok, here is the deal.... so I was looking at my Transaction History because I wanted to make sure that I had enough funds to buy some Prodrive Springs today, I knew I had enough, but I wanted to check. I found out that I have nearly $600.00 missing. I looked and saw a payment to a 1 Kathryn Johnson for $573.20. The the F%* is THAT!??!!? I am currently trying to sort this F'ing mess out right now....

Did you buy something that was for that amount. Sometimes small companies tend to show up as the owner's name on your statement

no... I called and they told me that it was a bill payment of some sort. I haven't bought anything that expensive since late June, and that payment was already taken care of. I placed a stop payment on whatever it was. So hopefully this will solve my little problem. They said that it could have been some sort of mistake....

What transaction history - paypal, online bank, or other?

Hope you get your moneys back, man, I'd be SO pissed.

My online bank payment history.... they said that it will take 3-5 days for the stop payment to go through. I am still pissed because I cannot buy my springs right now, but I will be fine as long as I can get all of my monies back....

If it's a real bank they should take care of it. Good luck, man.

Wasington Mutual helped me out with a charge like that, I got it all resolved. It took like a month though.
