Brenda and all,
Here in the USA, I was advised by my bank teller that using a 'debit card'
was the safest because it is the easiest to cancel if there is a problem
later. And canceling the debit card does not cancel the account it is linked
to.
We have 'debit cards' with numbers just like a credit card. One gives the
vendor the debit card number not the bank account number. The card is used
just like a credit card but you are not giving the vendor your checking
account number. I use one like this for ordering drugs through the mail,
etc.

>>I know that direct debit makes that sort of thing easier but I am very
reluctant to use it for anything other than absolute essentials such as
gas, water, electricity, council tax.
