Stupid things--I am an idiot-auto debits
| Fri, 03-03-2006 - 7:47pm |
Hi, everyone. Well, I am ashamed to admit it, but I made some goofs, and set up automatic debits from the checking account to various things. Pet Insurance. Great. Other things? (i.e., monthly exercise club, music downloads for DH burning CD's, real estate stuff 101, etc.)Stupid. Sawdust for brains. Sucker for come-ons. Common sense malfunction. Danni, et al, I am trying to rectify this. DH in war room about this. Problem: some of the things on the bank e-site are just abbreviated, or they use a billing company. So, there is no e-mail site, phone number, etc. If I stopped this stuff, how do I cancel for good? It's like having an island with no listing. Potential savings? AHA! Over $100/month easily. 2) HOw to stop popups in e-mails. Tried the popup blocker. No good. Now getting 75 stupid come-on ads daily for everything from Viagra to lose weight in 10 minutes. DH says I should not open them up or reply, as it could be a worm and mess up computer. So, I delete them. Need help on this, please, please. THanks. Whiz.

Hello,
You can contact your bank to find out how to stop automatic debits. You can dispute the charges. Usually when you do this, your bank will credit the charge until the investigation of the charge is done. Most merchants will cancel the account that sends chargebacks (disputes) from their bank account, since they probably will get charged a chargeback processing fee from their merchant account.
Answer: Call you bank and ask them to stop the charges.

Hey Whiz - I would work with your bank about the auto debits - I have a strict no-access policy with my checking account - I refuse to set up auto debits, so I have no idea how that all works.
As for popups, I downloaded the Google toolbar, for free, and for me, it's worked just great.
All my best,
Danni
