Here because this is really a health issue... Now my often-impulsive brother #3 is trying to talk dad into cancelling his credit card, after a "perfect storm" kind of phone call dad got a few days ago.
He happened to have his hearing aids on at the time... the call came on his cell phone when he was seated at the table... it was apparently nice and loud so he could perfectly hear it... but apparently it was some weasel, pretending to be from the issuer, who lied about the card being in arrears (the real issuer doesn't call people, they send paper letters... he's tended to forget one month in a row at times, but never longer)... usually these idiots have a phone number they expect you to call, so they can tell the authorities that the victim decided of his or her own accord to address the 'problem', but dad couldn't remember it... The card's significant use is for his and my (annually-billed) Juno mail storage (the addys and webmail are free as long as we have some kind of connection, which we do as the DSL is paid up to Christmas) and his and my cell phones. Since he can't use the computer due to his failing sight, he apparently intends to let the Juno service lapse (in about a month) while one of dad-or-brothers asks the bank to figure out how to pay the wireless out of his checking account... what I can't get across to them is that Net10 eschewed paper billing as a matter of policy and that strings have to be pulled (and possibly fees paid?) for payments to be made from his (and, they also don't understand, *my*) bank. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
