Consumer Tips

Be sure to call you bank about this statement or any questions........I found out that when you use a debt card, federal law also does not give you the right to stop payment. You must resolve the problem with the seller. Also check with you bank about the debt card in case its lost or stolen. Credit cards have a $50 cap but debt cards can be much higher. If you report a debt card missing before its used, you are not responsible for any unathorized withdrawals but check with your bank.
