Lucky you. I had an e-mail from Adelaide this week saying they couldn't process the cc payment and threatened to return our application unless we sorted it out within 3 days. Problem is we didn't pick up the e-mail until day 3, chased it up with Mastercard who said they automatically put a block on foreign debits for large amounts of money as a security guard, but immediately released the block - we've been checking our e-mails every few hours in panic - but no more response from Adelaide, nor debit on our card - now we're in a real stew not knowing whether our application is on it's way back to us or whether everything is okay. Oh Lordie. Sorry for the ramble - but thought others should be aware of overzeleous credit card companies.

Thanks for that. I jsut phoned Mastercard as my payment is going through them as well. The girl on the phone said they block them to prevent fraud as you said. I had to tell her the amount (in dollars) and who it was coming from I said DIMIA or Australian Governemt but added that i couldnt be 100% as i hadnt had a pyment taken yet! LOL

She asked when approx so i said hopefully before the end of Jan. She put a note on my account and that was that!

You need to have your account number, the expiry date, know your memorable password. The number i called was on the back of my credit card.

Hope this helps others to avoid a possible problem

Hi , We were told by agent to inform credit card company that a certain amount of money will be coming out within the next month from Aus.

All the best
