Lara, yeah i agree, it's nearly criminal how banks are giving them away to the one's that really can't afford them, a few weeks back on Current affairs, did you see how a girl applied and got a credit card for her cat using the cats name and actually got it ?

Thanks for that site, i like the prepaid idea too, i will check that out. thanks.
Curious, the one Lara mentioned sounds similar to the one you speak of, would be very handy for buying stuff off the net, a lot faster than snail mail.
Rose, i also think it is dangerous debiting directly from your bank account, they say Paypal is safe but i don't know so much really, i would prefer the prepaid one that you can leave small amounts in it, just enough to purchase stuff over the net, what a boss you had, boy that's unreal coming from an employer, identify theft is very common these days too, its unreal what some low life's will do.
