Can someone use your debit card information to find your credit card info?

Let's say your debit/"credit" card from your bank has its info stolen somehow. Can the thief use that information to gain access to an actual credit card, from a different creditor?

    Any pro can find out anything they want with your debit card info for about $29.00. If you lost your card, report it immediately. Then put your name on fraud alert thru Trans Union Fraud Dept @ 1-800-680-7289. They'll notify the other 2 bureaus and can be renewed every 90 days. Once this is setup and someone tries to open an account with your info, they must notify you first before it can be processed.

    No.... none of this information would be "linked". A credit card with a different company will never know that you have an account with bank ABC.
