Republican Tightwad: I respect your opinion, of course, but disagree and I mentioned identity theft as a possibility. It’s just my view that the fear of identity theft isn’t as much a financial burden as paying high interest rates and fees, day in and day out, year after year.

Shari L: Getting your money back from a debit card transaction is the same as getting it back from a credit card transaction; the process of claiming fraudulent use is the same — most people don’t know this, but it’s true. Just call Chase or any other prominent bank issuing debit cards.

Lavonda Matkovic: Truthfully, I dislike all credit cards but the secured type can be useful for restoring bad credit.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

I have so many mixed emotions when it comes to credit. In a lot of ways we need it. But I think the companies that run the credit abuse it and trick and take advantage of their customers. Too many people are in debt to have be all one big coincidence. I think the credit industry needs more regulation.

This Metro Cheapo blog really is the money help for which I was on the lookout. Great post about unsecured credit cards versus debit cards. For certain I will take action on this as soon as possible — you’ve got me thinking about unsecured credit cards, but what about secured credit cards?

Yeah, exactly the stuff which I was seeking out. Should do an examination of my own unsecured credit cards soon. Thanks.
