Hey everyone,

Every morning after I get up, I go online to check my bank account balances. I always have this feeling of dread when doing so, due to these PDL companies and their scuzzy tactics. It's such a terrible feeling to have. I fear one morning I am going to wake up and see my account hundreds of dollars in the negative!

Does anyone else feel this way? Just wondering! Cool

Jen, I always feel that way. In fact I am so paranoid, I check it several times during the day.I wonder if that feeling will ever go away.

I also have the feeling and also check my account several times a day, I am trying to do it less, but it is a hard habit to get out of.

I check mine several times a day plus sometimes i wake up in the night and the first thing i do is check it. It is a nightmare. I hope one day i won't have to live like this anymore.

I am in the same boat as all of you. I check mine constantly.

It should go away . . . . Really . . . . I only check my accounts when I want to know the balance, and I never think about a pdl finding it and taking money out. The odds of it happening are really low . . . . Seriously, you probably have a better chance of being hit by a car then a pdl finding your new account and taking money.

Thanks to my conversation with the bank this week, I have not checked my account in two days. My old account is closed and has been for 20 days now and in the past 3 months...no problems. As for my new account I am not worried about the pdls finding it anymore. I have worried so much for the last year I just do not have it in me to worry about that. Now I worry about whether or not they will take my check at the store Laughing

I still just receive a paper check for my pay now and I only put enough into my bank account to pay whatever it is that I need to that day. I still worry about someone getting my bank account info, even though I really know that it is not likely, I just do not want to find out the hard way. I literally put all my cash in a can in my closet now...

njl, every time there is a scare I seriously consider the whole coffe can idea. Very Happy

It does have its merit.

It has been working for me. I know where my money is at everyday. My landlord prefers cash payment anyhow so that is really the only big bill that I pay every month and the only other bill I have is a cell phone so I just go to the Verizon Store and pay through the automated machine with cash. I can see how it would be much tougher for people that have multiple payments to make very month. I have also noticed that I spend my money much wiser now, since I can only spend whatever is in my pocket:)

That is a great way to be more budget conscious. My employer will not issue a paper check everything must be direct deposit. I am fortunate that I live in a small town and have known the tellers for several years. Anytime something happens with my account I am notified....I think in some ways that is why I feel "safe".
