Fraudulent charges....

Why is it that Banks in the UK and USA take their customers side when dealing with fraudulent charges, BUT Emirates bank in the UAE (or Network International) instantly block the card and make you wait 10 days for a replacement (a disaster when travelling!!). Then despite the fact that you have both agreed that the charge is fraudulent they transfer the charge to the new card and unless you pay it off you have to pay interest on it until they get confirmation from the Merchant!!! This procedure takes 3 months!

In my case it was $1000 charged in the USA, luckily I was on my way back to Dubai so was there when my new card was couriered. If I had not been back in Dubai they would not have agreed to send it to me Internationally!!

How many of their customers can afford to pay off $1000 of debt not their own in order to avoid charges?

What an unfair system!!
