[QUOTE="mom_in_training, post: 215056, member: 2727"] The new electronic age thing, Grrrrrr... I do recall something about the Gov mandating this check debit thing a while back. I can't say if its optional for some businesses or not but all of the utility companies and credit card companies are doing the debit thing. I don't really like the whole idea though because I notice on my bank statement every month that the credit card acc #'s are on the bank statement. Way tooooo much information in to many places. I suppose its just safest to pay the credit cards off and just never use them or take the $10.00 hit and pay by phone or do it free online but I don't feel secure about that either. I don't like the idea of the whole acc # being on the statements. The utility acc #'s are as well but I don't care about those being there. Yes we do have privacy laws but that is not enough to prevent identity theft. Oh and I find it strange that when I write a check out at WalMart that sometimes it is an automatic debit but there are other times when I see the check does not post for two or three days. Just strange considering that they are completely set up for the check debit when you pay and yes I get the check back every time after I sign the lil receipt thing. Another thing is with debit cards, I notice that some places have an issue reading your card for debit but has no problem inputting it as credit on the same card. And that takes a couple days to debit. Hmmmm, Is this their way to charge you a small fee? I know that some gas stations started charging a small fee for using a credit card to pay for gas. [/QUOTE]
