Bummer when it happens to you though.

I was similarly cleaned out when a travel agent accidentally charged me twice for a holiday a few years ago.

My bank initially told me it was my problem, but after a few choice words they decided otherwise and sorted it. I was completely broke for 2 days though.
I was recently charged ?10000 each for a photo frame from IKEA. I'd bought 8 of them, imagine my bill. Thank goodness I 'noticed' some wrong.

This is a true incident but it just left me unnerved to think that the till had no safety check. Who would buy ?80000 worth of stuff of flat packs in one go!

if your credit car was ok with the 80000grand charged, and you had a sufficient credit limit to cover it, i would imagine youd be driving more like an Aston Martin Rather than a 520d

You'd need to borrow one of their roofracks to take it all home
