4/4 Legal advice: do I have to renew my bank card to no longer be charged by ALIENCHG?

What the law says ? : in March 2018, the court of cassation accepted the culpable negligence of a customer who had transmitted his data to a fraudulent site. This is the reason why a banker may refuse to block your card if you are the originator of the subscription.

If you are still in possession of your bank card, it is very unlikely that it is a card hack as explained above: blocking the card would therefore mean not honoring a contract for which you signed up. engaged. We therefore do not recommend blocking your credit card.

If it is card fraud, that is, if the card has been physically lost and used by a third party, you can report it stolen / lost to your banker. You will also be able to open a fraud file to try toget a refund (this point is to be done directly with your bank).
