This is the reason credit cards are superior to debit cards. If one checks
ones credit cards often, (like every few days) one can detect the amount of the
charges assessed, and dispute them. Credit cards offer more protection than do
debit cards. As with debit cards, the cost is directly removed from ones
checking or savings account. Thus, perhaps causing checks to bounce, Due to
insufficient funds. If one doesn't receive paper statements, it is a good idea
to download them, and to save them on a medium apart from ones main computer,
or other device. Because, if the banking system is ever compromised, and
records of the amount one has in ones accounts is deleted from the system
entirely. One can have proof of ones account balances,, and the source of ones
income. One might laugh at what I have suggested. But, think of all the hacks
done regarding large corporations. Compromising all sorts of peoples personal
financial information.

Hi Steve
There will always be an issue of trust.
Let's say you use card for either chip and pin.
How would you know the true amount to pay?
YOU rely on shop staff to be honest!
YOU go to a restaurant.
Has the waitress given herself a nice big tip!
YOU didn't know!

Hi,
This, to be honest, is why I won't have any statements that involve security
in Braille, because, of necessity, it has to go through someone else's hands.
I tend to read all my statements online now.
All the best
Steve

Hi Alison
That is so scary, I have now received my Braille statement for this month
from John Lewis but still awaiting Sainsburys.
Best wishes

Hello Henry
I don't have statements for either of these but do have braille statgements
for my bank account and credit card account and was appalled recently to
receive someone else's credit card statement instead of my own. Now, in truth,
I would rather have paid his and let him pay mine as it was just after our
cruise round New Zealand - smile!
It was all sorted out in the end but it took a very long phone call where I
was passed from one person to another before it was sorted out.
I have been told since that I could have asked for compensation as they had
jeopardised my security in sending all my card details to the wrong person.
Hope you get your problem sorted out soon.
Alison
