[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [qb] Plus, I hate cheques for exactly the opposite reason Jason jsut said. You write someone a cheque, forget about it, look at your account 3 weeks later and think "coo, I've got �100 spare, maybe I'll go and import some Japanese Transformers." And then you check again a week later and suddenly your bank is ringing you up because the stupid idiot you gave the �250 cheque to has only just cashed it and now people want to break your thumbs. [/qb][/QUOTE]I've run into that with my checkcard though: turns out that a vendor (at a store) can swipe your card through the reader while you're there, give you your reciept but not actually process the transaction for many days. I use Bank of America and their policy is, any debits to an account have to be processed within a certain time period (48 hrs I think) or those funds [i]return[/i] to your account. So, you can still have some charge looming dispite having made your transaction days ago and dispite whatever it says on your onling statement. After getting shafted this way, I was told by a rather haughty phone agent of BofA that the only way to verify my account's real balance was to use a tiny check registry and hand-write all my transactions in there for each purchase. So much for high-tech. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
