5. thanks for the OP

it's on my spring calendar to revisit some of these issues, because companies have not been cooperative. Makes me want to focus on 2 or 3 accounts only, and go local with the best of them.

There are people who say debit cards aren't safe either. Once they're empty, your out of luck. I have no idea what would happen if I cancel my debit card. You can't even visit a bank anymore for customer service, it's all done at the drive through. The lack of a debit card leaves you without cash, or credit card cash advances which I think there is a fee for that.

Then there's paypal. I'd like to close that too. It of course is hooked up to bank and credit accounts. Access opens your credit line.

My bank was not helpful with all this. There answer was to access your account each day. Great, each account each day, like there went 30 minutes.
