credit-debit/identity theft question

[natenapril]

Excellent advise.

If you do need to use a debit card because you don't believe in cc's or can't handle them my advise would be to have a saving account that isn't connected to your checking. Only keep as much money in checking as you need to clear bills etc. and when you need to place more in to either do it online or call your bank and have them transfer for you.

I am so sorry this happened and glad that it is going to be taken care of quickly. As soon as they find ways to stop the thieves they find new ways to get in.

After talking to my bank again today and my DH some more we have decided to only use one of our credit cards that has a very small credit limit on all purchases. We will be able to check it easier, nobody is stealing our cash, and if someone wants to go on a spree they won't get far.
