well, anymore, I simply point any auto debits to my walmart money reloadable card making sure it has sufficient funds to cover only those charges. That is how I caught another company trying to take more than they were authorized. It was funny when they called me up and threatened to charge me with felony bad check writing. I had to bluntly explain to them that the card in question was a reload type card and if they tried to take more than the agreed payment, that I could charge them with attempted fraud. That shut them up real fast. No problems after that.
