Keep an eye on your credit/debit card accounts.

I tried. Filed police reports and **** too. nothing came of it. Debt was cleared for me at least.

Walmart will fight tooth and nail, even if they're at fault. They have their own law firm and agency just for this type case.

Then you certainly need to watch it. Sounds like you need every penny and then some.
About once a year I get a text from Chase asking if I am trying to make a purchase. Each time they have caught the fraud and notified me. I check my balance daily and they have caught it every time. Their algorithms are amazing.

Same here. I have been with Chase since the Washington Mutual days and have never been disappointed with any of their services.

Walmart is the Skynet of retailers

My cc was compromised last month.

When you talk to them on the phone ask for them to overnight you the new card. They will do this for free but they never offer it up. They say they will mail you the new card. That's when you ask them to overnight it to you.

I got hit back in May. No offer to overnight new card so I asked. They said yes but will need to be home to sign for it. Ok. Took off work. Was out back and heard the Fedx truck leaving. Took off to the house only to find envelope at door in garage. So much for needing to sign.

The other thing I do -- especially for online purchases -- is to use an "alias" credit card through privacy.com. Each card number they create for you can only be used with that specific merchant. Or you can create "burner" card numbers which can only be used one time. So if that merchant is ever breached, just cancel the number and your real debit/credit card is still safe. Each card you create can use different funding sources too (your checking, your debit card, etc.). It's an amazing service.

I'm lowering it to $3.50 now...

I use privacy also and just set the limit for $1 than I'm going to spend. Then even if the merchant is breached later, the card is useless but still works for a refund.
