built 647 days ago
Always verify your Credit Card Bills carefully and ensure that there are no false billing. Keep the bills securely for future references and comparisons. In case, you find charges which you don't understand, report them and seek clarifications.

Check your credit card bills carefully as soon as you receive them. Follow the instructions on your bill for questioning or disputing charges. Don’t send a note with your payment, since a separate department usually handles disputes. Make copies of any forms or letters that you send your credit card issuer about the dispute, and be sure to pay the rest of your bill on time.

Those credit card offers that flood your mailbox are each a potential problem for you. All a crook needs to do is intercept your mail, fill out the form and mail it then wait for the card to be sent to you. Then one day, surprise, you get a huge bill for a credit card that you didn't even know you had.

Make sure you reconcile your credit card bills monthly. Save your receipts so you can compare them with your monthly bills. If you find any charges that you don't have a receipt for or that you don't recognize call up the credit card to report them.

Recently, the subject was evicted by his landlord for nonpayment of rent and for stealing and illegally using the landlords credit cards (and other things). During the eviction the subjects computer was "lost" for several months (something about money he owned the landlord for phone bills). By the time the subject "found" his computer (after the phone bills were paid) someone had gained access to the CPU and copied all of the hard drive contents (and installed sniffer software).

Interchange is a percentage of each transaction that Visa and MasterCard banks collect from retailers every time their credit or debit cards are used to pay for a purchase. The fee varies with type of card, size of merchant and other factors, but averages close to 2 percent for credit card and signature debit transactions. Total credit and debit card interchange collected by Visa and MasterCard amounted to $26.32 billion in 2004, according to the Nilson Report, a business magazine that covers the credit card industry.
