It’s funny at first, but a little sad too.

I really wish you would have youtubed your credit card hunt excursion (same to any of your readers use this strategy to hunt for credit cards). I got a hearty laugh at that one.Unfortunately I wasn't as creative in my hunt for hidden credit cards. I went straight to tip #2 and obtained my credit report to identify all open revolving accounts. In full transparency, I still have one credit card. I've been through the headache of identity theft so having that one credit card does provide me a sense of peace - even if it's false - when I shop online and travel.Against my normal practice for shopping online, I made a purchase a few weeks ago using a debit card and I still don't have the product (which was an online product that should have been downloaded immediately). I've been trying to get a refund for over a week, with no success to date. They are constantly "trying to find my account" and will "call me back tomorrow." I'm going to follow-up with my bank to see what their dispute policy is. I know with credit cards it's fairly simple (in my experience). We'll see how this goes. If all goes well, I could be one step closer to ridding myself of my last credit card. My heart and my head are moving in two directions. .-= Lydia aka Ms. MoneyChat´s last blog ..<a href="http://mymoneychat.blogspot.com/2009/10/if-i-could-i-would.html" rel="nofollow">If I Could, I Would</a> =-.
