Yes, in most cases, once the cardholder gets the pieces of his/her life back together!

>becuase they don't believe the interenet is secure enough for retail commerce, so they don't shop online. Victor, I've read that before but it wouldn't bother me like it should bother the credit-card companies...Aren't they the ones who would be left holding the bag? Credit card firms have found the security to be resonable enough for them to take the risk. The consumer in many cases does not know they are only liable for the first $50. The credit card firms are receiving an additional 50 basis points on average discount fee for on-line purchases so they are making good money on this.
