Well, just was talking on the 'phone to them $43 bucks later in
"processing fees" and I know damn well I changed the date of
my credit card details last year, and have had no credit card
debt in the past 9 months. Now I expect I have one.
Anyway, I don't live there anymore, so unlikely to use the
tag much now.
Anyway after complaining, I'm $43 poorer, and the notices go
in the round file.
I don't live where I used to, so have not paid $8 or whatever
a day for some time now. I probably should not be angry at
them as it would cost to pay for the maintenance of that, however
everyone knows tolls more than covers it.
