Could someone get enough information off a bank statement to book something over the phone?

Looks like someone booked a room in a hotel on my laser card and it was not me!! I didn’t lose my card or anything around the time this happened, so I’m wondering, would it be possible for someone to get enough info from a bank statement or something to book this?
I’ll be going to the bank tomorrow but thought I would just see if anyone here knew.
and REMEMBER: rip up all letters/ any correspondence that is going into the recycling!! 
learn from my stupid mistake!
Not from your bank statement. that is why Shredders were invented

I’m not sure, sorry
but if you tell the bank it wasn’t you, maybe they can refund you?
Also, don’t just rip stuff up. Shred it. And even when shredded, try not to put bank statements in the recycling. I don’t know about what it’s like where you are, but here, recycling bags are see-through and if people see shredded paper = obvious details to take at will.

Very possible! All they would need would be an account number to attempt to use your account funds. Make sure you know the date and if possible the time the transaction took place with the hotel reservation. If you can prove you were somewhere else when this happened, you may not be liable for the charges. Make sure you have all needed information in order to make your case! Good luck!
