And How Would You Like To Pay For This Purchase?
To moat, chooting a form of
'' payment at the badf aegitfat doe*
not take much thought It depends
on what you have - -cash, checks,
credit cards and even debit cards
are alternatives these days. How-
ever, the wrong payment option
could mean heavy costs. To avoid
mistakes, it would be best to be
familiar with all payment options
to make practical decisions that
can cave time, money and inconve-
nience. The Independent Bankers
Association of Texas offer* this
list of the potential risks and
rewards of payment options.
Cash
• Pluses. Basic consumer payment
in cash is simple, involving no fees
or other time consuming steps. It’s
accepted by other consumers as
well as by all merchants. And
because cash is money you already
have you can’t get in debt lrom
using it Cash is also anonymous.
• Potential Problems. If you don’t
keep good records and receipts on
cash transactions, it will be hard to
resolve disputes or track your
spending. Bills and coins are also
easily lost or stolen.
• Consumer Protections. There
are limited regulations for the
purchase of a product that can turn
bad. You cannot stop payment *#
with a check or dispute payment
as with a credit card.
• Remember. Keep receipts,
warranties and documentation for
the purpose of explanation if
needed in a dispute.
Personal Checks
• Pluses. Checks are easy to use
and are frequently accepted by
merchants and individuals. With a
check, you can avoid overextending
family finances and can build a
good payment history. Some
accounts may earn interest and
funds are insured up to J100,000
at federally insured institutions.
Checks can also provide a
comfortable alternative for those
who are unsure of electronic
payments and debit cards.
• Potential Problems. Some
merchants do not accept checks.
Writing and mailing checks takes
Tip from yotr
Cemreniif Esther
tune and money. Not lo mention,
paper checks can be lost or stolen.
• Consumer Protections. Checking
accounts are covered by state law,
under the Uniform Commercial
Code, which can limit you losses if
Someone steals your checks and
forges your signature. This code also
grants the right to stop payment on a
check. Canceling payment will
icquire you to act quickly before the
check has cleared and will force you
to defend your action when the
merchant demands payment Know
that stopping payment docs not stop
your liability.
• Remember. Make *ure you are still
getting a good deal on your checking
account, in terms of fees, minimum
balance requirements and interest
benefits. It is important to use your
checkbook responsibly by keeping
your account balanced and monitoring
for errors and unauthorized
transactions.
Credit Cards
• Pluses. The most obvious benefit
is that you are able to buy goods today
and pay later. And don’t worry,
plastic is widely accepted at
neighborhood stores, while traveling,
on the Internet, through mail and
even by telephone. Credit cards serve
as a support in emergencies, offering
funds that you might not have, for
unexpected medical care or
automobile repairs. Many card
issuers extend rewards for purchases,
such as cash rebates and bonus points
for airplane tickets. In addition,
credit cards are safer to carry than
cash and can be easily replaced when
lost or stolen.
• Potential Problems Interest
charges and fees can add up When
you pay interest on a purchase, you
will pay more for the item than if you
wore to' use hard ooah. Because
credit card* offer consumer*
immediate satisfaction without
immediate^ financial penalties, the
chances fdr spontaneous purchases
increases and if you are not careful,
you could rack up a sizable debt.
• Consumer Prolections. Credit
cards offer the beat legal remedies
against billing errors, damaged
merchandise and other buyer
concerns. If your credit card is lost
or stolen, federal laws limit your
losses to a maximum of $50.
Another protection allows
consumers to withhold payment on
billing disputes.
• Remember. Try to pay off your
credit card balances each month so
you can avoid or minimize interest
charges. If you expect to carry a
balance most months, use a card
with a low Annual Percentage Rate
and a grace period for new
purchases before finance charges
are imposed. Monitor fees and
service charges regularly and be
aware of the potential to become
overextended with debt.
Debit Cards
• Pluses. Debit cards are easier
and faster than writing a check and
arc a good way to pay for purchases
without having to pay interest
charges. Importantly, safety features
are included in the payment option.
On-line cards require a Personal
Identification Number and off-line
cards, known as “check cards,”
require a signature, as do personal
checks.
• Potential Problems. Debit cards
are not accepted as payment by
individuals and some small
businesses. Funds are deducted
from accounts so quickly, it is
unlikely to stop a payment in a
dispute.
• Consumer Protections As with
credit cards, a “check card” will
generally hold a $50 limit on losses
if your credit card is lost or stolen
In the event of an unauthorized
transfer, it is important to promptly
notify your card issuer.
• Remember. Transactions arc
immediately deducted from your
account. Keep good records.
