How about the card company just declines the charge? Listen to a pod and the commenter lamented the time he he was a broke campaign staffer and made photocopies. His bank charged him $35 for each copy.
Yes. No reason to have checks anymore. Financial institutions would know to the penny what their clients' balance is in real time. If they don't have enough money in their account the transaction is denied. I just can't put my finger on why this won't happen.
That doesn't make sense, and I've never used that phrase. I don't think you understood my post.

Do all counties accept debit cards as a payment for property taxes? Would they charge an additional fee to do so? Would they accept information over the phone, or would said old person need to waste time, money, and potentially the same fir others (if they don’t drive) to pay in person?
That you're a bad person who roots for the villain.
Hmm…looking at your posting history in the HBOT search features it seems you already made 43 posts today and the longest gap between any two posts was only 41 minutes. I hope to be as productive as you someday. Here’s the data.
