Good Morning!!!!!!

[Rebel SS]

Ya, but I'd check it weekly Barry. Just my opinion after teaching this stuff for so many years....you may suddenly get 4-5 charges racking up at once, as is done sometimes when they get an active card number. Then it's a mess.

[LPS]

So will checking with Equifax help?  I guess so.  How do you do that without making yourself more of a target?  I think the last time we went to the bank for any amount that was warrantying a credit check was 5 or 6 years ago.

[Rebel SS]

Don't you do online banking? Able to check yer acct online? Just look at yer activity sheet...mine list all transactions under my checking, savings, credit card, etc. Just like the monthly sheet you used to get from banks...except online. I have an alert that prints any transaction over a $1 to my sheet. You can set alerts for this type of thing on a lot of sites. Mine is completely customizable. That's why I like Affinity Plus CU.

To check if you were part of the Equifax breach (the A-holes!) go to this site to check:

Hope this helps, Barry.

Then how do you pay for groceries, gas, etc?! We're not talking debit cards, or soused up verde things here, Delmont! Stick wid the program!!! 

I have several credit cards.   I don't use debit cards.   Credit cards have legal federal law protection for the holder.  Debit cards not so much.  Don't believe me?   Go do your homework.   

[Rebel SS]

Well, aren't you just the special little fella! Wee bit testy, are we? I need to do no homework; I'm totally dialed in on all those types of matters. You need to do YOUR homework, you are incorrect. Affinity Plus has ZERO liability on debit OR Credit cards...was just told that today by my CU advisor. I've provided a link for ya so you can do YOUR homework. Whassa matter, yer bowl of  corn masa fall on the floor and go *SPLAT*?   

https://www.affinityplus.org/connect-with-us/our-blog/id/551/fight-credit-and-debit-card-fraud

From APFCU:

Credit and debit cards come with significant fraud protection. Your Affinity Plus Visa debit and credit card account is protected by Visa’s Zero Liability Policy, which guarantees you will not be responsible for fraudulent charges, should they occur.

[delcecchi]

One is federal law, the other is "visa policy".   You choose. 
Yep, feisty I am.

yea what he said!!!!!!!

[Rebel SS]

I don't haveta choose nuttin'. I'm covered.  Charges are already off my acct.   

[LPS]

Ya the wife checks it frequently.  I will ask her to ask more often.  Thanks Rebs.  Thanks for the link.  It looks like we are not impacted as they say.  Checked mine and the wifes.  Maybe you should start another thread so others can see how to check theirs out Rebs.  This is awesome that you offered this info.  I have wondered how to do it quickly.  And quit giving Delmar such a hard time......   

[Rebel SS]

Hey, let's be fair here! He started in on ME!     Pick, pick, pick. Mr persnickety. I KNOW what my CU tells me is right. Delmar don't. If I start to give him a hard time, there'll be no doubt in yer mind.    Sorry, Del!!
The others will just have to read those credit posts and hope they can follow them. I'm retired.

Reb:  Del, there's an asteroid headed ta Rochester!!! Take cover!!

Del:  That's a meteorite technically, not an asteroid.

Reb: But Del, here it comes! It's gonna hit yer house!

Del: Wouldn't matter, meteorite's are so small that when     *CRASH*  *KABOOM*


                                                                 

[LPS]

Comprendae...   Hey I am serious, I wondered how to check with Equifax and I am sure many others do too.  They would like to see your link Rebs.  I sure appreciated it.  Was just talking at work today and we wondered how to do it the right way.  Thanks.   Bed time, talk to you in the morning...

[Rebel SS]

OK, I'll post in the general category for the good of mankind and MNO.   


Done.

[Jerkbiat]

Morning boys. I to will be checking into the credit thing now that Rebs posted up the link. We also have been wondering how a person should go about it. Well, just another day in paradise. Have a good one all!!

[LPS]

Morning all.  Having the Honey nuts Cheerios again.  The wife is loading up the car as this is her sisters weekend.  They get together once a year and have a great weekend.  Man and the dogs and cat are batching it.  Gonna be great.  A big steak is in store for me too.  Gotta go help her.  See ya later.

[mike89]

mornin all,  LPS must be in a hurry to get her going!!!  that's funny!!  a good day yesterday, got a few things done and even some of the mowing.  the grass was wet til late afternoon!!!  get the rest today I hope, but first have to go to Alex for resupplies for the week....  weather is looking great too....   have a good day!!

I see Hugh Hefner passed away, RIP....

[Rebel SS]

Mornings paisano's. Me, anyway. Woke up wid chilly widdle hands. 64* inside. Might haveta throw a blankie on the bed. Too early to turn on furnace.Gonna be a putter around day. The credit thing screwed up my day yday and got me bent out of shape, need to kick back a bit today since it's all taken care of. Furnace check went great, guy they sent really took care of me after an issue I had with them last year. Been with them twenty years, sent them a lot of business, and I get a pushy, messy clown for a tech last year that had me billed wrong.
Hit it off with this guy, since I used to do some HVAC stuff on the side. He did a REAL thorough testing of everything. Amazing the new things they use...particulate analyzers, combustion gas analyzer, CO meters, gas leak detectors, all the electrical/amp draw and outputs, flue temps and gas valve pressures, etc. Unreal.  Normally it's $119 for this, had a $99 special. They said we'll take care of ya, Mark, would an even $75 be alright? After spending an hour going thru every test there is, ya, that was great with me. Guy even went home with a bag of 'mato's.     Have a good one, guys.

:doofus:Over Time..................more hours of work then i get paid fer!!!!!!!!!!

[LPS]

Too bad we aren't closer Rebs.  You could come make my lawn actually all grass.  Double check our finances.  Maintain everything that has a spark plug and maintain the furnace.   After that you could make up some of your homemade family Mexican specialties. 

[mike89]

you chase the wife out this morning and now you want Rebs up there....!!!!

 

the cat would not not like that I'll bet!!!

[LPS]

She would probably hiss at him.  It is hilarious when she does that to the wife.  We both laugh at it.  Bob the female cat doesn't hiss at me.  I am too much of a push over and let her sit in my lap whenever she wants. 

[mike89]

Bob the cat female cat, is that like a boy named Sue?????

I love it!!!

[Rebel SS]

Well, that took care of that, Barry! I'm allergic to cats! *AHCHOO* ITCH*  Guess you'll just have to have Glenn drop in now and then and scare the cat.   

[Rebel SS]

Animals love me. Dogs, women,  and pussycats. Fish fear me. However, for some reason, skwirrels now run at the sight of me....

[LPS]

You didn't tell Glenn did you????     

[Rebel SS]

Nope. Waitin' to hear his story about how he tamed the BOBCAT.   

[glenn57]

Thought my ears where burning. Cats are good for one thing, keeping rodents down.

Half way to Duluth today I get a call, my wife is going back to the hospital. Ends up her incision got infected. The did surgery to clean it up and will be in for a couple days.

[Jerkbiat]

That sucks Glenn. Hope they get it taken care of. Best wishes for the wife!! Morning all, TGIF. Heading for the hunting shack today after work. Going to do trails and stands this weekend. Also get the fields mowed down. Guess that will be the end of chasing Houdini the bear. We will make a bunch of commotion and one of the guys and his women are staying to grouse hunt all next week. Oh well, time to start chasing bambi with the bow now. Have a good one all!!

[mike89]
