Direct debit card question?

if it's to purchase somethink, i know that online you need:

some sites require the registered address

the name of the person on the card

the card number

start and end date

security numbers on the back

but if your scared that someone has your details i would ring the number on your card rite now and get it cancelled and have a new one sent out. and change your address to were you are living if its diffrent!!

Probably, but a very bad idea. The interest on the debit card loan will be much higher than car dealers offer. Your debit card is like 7%, and car dealers are as low as 1%.

Why not cancel your card asap just to be on the safe side. I have had some companies ask for the long number, valid from and til dates and the last 3 digits on the back. I have also had companies just ask for the details from the front of the card.

You mean "debit card". Direct debit is something entirely different.

You usually need the long number, the security number (on the back), and the expiry date to make a purchase.

Usually need all numbers including expiry date, and security number.

Without a doubt, it's a random combination depending on where the card is used.

Full account number, expiration date, and security number.

Name as it appears on the card.

sort code and account number along with name address and postcode is enough to arrange for a direct debit
