Helpful Tips!

Recently I noticed a charge on my credit card that I did not remember, so I called the credit card company. I finally got to talk to someone ... a feat unto itself ... and they could not give anymore info than was on the credit card statement. So they switched me to theft department. They also asked a few questions and then said they need to close the account ... then they said they had closed the account and a new credit card would be sent in the mail in 2 to 4 days ... of course I could pay for faster deliver.

Now I do not get paper receipts ... just on-line bills ... works fine until this happened.

I logged back in to look at some other stuff and no account was shown! Now I can't check on anything else ... like the computer I bought a couple of months ago ... did it get charged to my account. What other charges had not gotten into the account before it was closed? I feel lost! I quickly downloaded all my accounts info for the past year. They make a big deal about 6 years of history ... won't do you any good if they close the account ... no longer can you see it!

So I have decided to download all online statements each month into a folder that is backed up on another site. I think several sites provide web backup for a small amount of data at no cost. If you want to check into this provider ... drop me a line and I will send you the URL.
