    My card keeps getting declined
    My online banking screen says my balance is £127.69 CR and when I check my balance on ATMs they say the same amount is my 'available account balance'. However, I've tried buying things online, from shops and withdrawing at ATMs but they are all rejecting my card.

    I thought CR meant credit (money that belonged to me). Maybe Im wrong - please, if you can - help. Thanks.

    Something you have tried to buy has triggered an automatic fraud alert and the bank have blocked the card.
