leaders.
Illegal use of credit
creating consumer wooes
( Editor's note: This week has
been declared National Consumer
Week by President Ronald
Reagan. Hoke County 4-H'er
Leah Hendrix has written this arti
cle to help local consumers be
more aware of the snags of the
market place.
By Leak Hcaditx
Counterfeiters, forgers and
thieves are making a profit by the
unauthorized use of credit card
numbers. They sometimes get card
receipts or carbons from store
trash.
Extra imprints are made on
blank forms by dishonest clerks.
Dishonest telephone callers pose
as bank representatives or
telepbone canvassers in order to
get a charge card number.
Then these illegally obtained
numbers are used to order mer
chandise by phone to be delivered
to a "new address."
The Consumer Credit Protec
tion Act states that you do not owe
anything for unauthorized pur
chases if you report the loss im
mediately before the card has been
used.
If charges have already been
made, your liability is limited to
$50 per card.
Most companies have a toll free
number for reporting missing
cards.
There are ways you as a con
sumer can reduce the risk of credit
and charge card fraud. It is a good
idea to leave seldom used cards at
home in a safe place and to carry
cards separately from your wallet.
When making a purchase keep
your card in view after giving it to
a clerk. Ask for and destroy the
carbon and any voided charge
slips.
Do not lend you card to anyooe
and do not give your card number
over the phone unless you know
the company is reliable.
When you receive new cards sign
them immediately. Keep a record
of the account numbers, expiration
dates, phone numbers, and ad
dresses for each card company.
Save receipts and reconcile them
with your billing statement.
Modern computerized billing
systems make careful use of charge
cards and record keeping more im
portant.
Consumers should realize that
prevention of card loss or
unauthorized use is easier than the
hassle of trying to correct errors or
get a new card number after a loss.
