Check Credit Report

John B asked:


I got a letter from a company their credit card database had been accessed illegally and that the credit card I used may be at risk for fraud. They recommended that I contact my bank to cancel the card I used to purchase one of their products online. I called my bank immediately and had the card canceled and had another one issued. Now a month laster I’m looking at my credit report and there is a derogatory mark on my credit report from my bank saying that the card was lost or stolen under 2 of the 3 credit reporting agency’s. .
Is this correct? Do I get penalized for reporting possible fraud to my credit card?
