Do you have to have a bank account with the bank that issues the credit card?
No - in most cases. As long as the credit card issuer can determine your credit worthiness, it doesn't matter where your bank account is. There is one exception. If you apply for a secured credit card, you must keep a 'security deposit' of a certain amount in the institution chosen by the credit card issuer (usually their own bank).
How is a charge card different from a credit card?
A charge card you have to pay the full balance at the end of the month. You can buy as much as you want, but you must pay at the end of the month. A credit card will give you a limit of $xxxx and you can pay that off over years and build the interest until you can never pay it off. So essentially you can buy a yaht with a charge card but not a credit card. The downside to the charge card is the fact that if you cant pay up in full every month, they will gut you worse than a credit card would. Also, charge cards carry an annual fee for their generous rewards points and the risk they incur by backing you.
How do you enter a credit card transaction?
I can only assume that you are asking in regard to registering a sale at point of purchase. If you do not have a scanner for the cards, you must have a slider or you can enter the information manually, but you absolutely MUST have credit slips which are furnished by either the credit card company or your bank. Once you have these slips, all you have to do is fill in the blanks. It is very simple. sunnyraye
What is the time limit for processing a debit card charge?
A debit card charge must be posted no more than 30 days from the date of purchase. The merchant can still post a charge after the 30 days however they open themselves up to getting a chargeback from the cardholder/bank. A chargeback is a right that every cardholder/bank have. It is a way for the CH/Bank to get back their money when a merchant incorrectly processes a transaction.
When is a charge off removed?
A charge off will stay on your credit report for 7 years unless removed by the original creditor or the credit bureaus. You can dispute a charge off with the credit bureaus and they must verify it with the original creditor with in 30 days or it must be removed from your credit report.
