Easy for thieves

-

WHeN contactles­s cards were first issued in 2007, the limit was £10 for a no questions asked purchase.

The limit has progressiv­ely increased to £15, £20, £30, £45 and now a whopping £100. This is a dream come true for thieves.

I choose the limit on my credit cards, so why can’t I do the same for contactles­s transactio­ns? The upper limit should suit me and my attitude to risk. RICHARD BRYANT,

Cranleigh, Surrey.
