What is the meaning of debit cards and credit cards?
The main difference lies in the fact that a debit card doesn't carry a window of credit with itself.the purchases made by a debit card cannot exceed the amount of money a person has in his/her account.since they are directly linked with a person's salary account it provides instant cash. On the other hand every time you make a purchase using your credit card,you are actually borrowing money from a bank or a financial institution.so every time you make a purchase the bank/institution pays the vendor and in turn you pay the money back to the bank/institution at a later date with of course interest(if any) incurred. another major difference lies in the safety/security part.debit cards are more unsafe than credit cards because a debit card doesn't have a pin number.so just in case you lose your debit card and the theft is not reported quickly you might just lose everything you have in your account.but a credit card comes with much more legal liability.sometimes (if you are lucky enough)the credit card company /bank might as well compensate for your losses. As per experts from Credit Nation, a Credit Card, as its name suggests, gives you credit, for a charge, of course, and allows you to pay for service or product over a period of time. The days of credit one gets could range from 20 to 50 days (calculated from the day of billing and not from date of purchase) come interest free. You can choose to pay your dues entirely at one go or stagger them after paying the minimum amount due every month. If you are looking for more information about credit cards then visit website of creditnation or their facebook page.
What do you do when your checkbook is stolen and the bank is closed?
Call their 24-hour customer service line. Look for a bank website and see what their emergency notification process is. You have to get them on this right away. Same for any credit and debit cards you lose.
If you paid a credit card in full and have the canceled check but it is still showing outstanding on your credit report how do you dispute it?
Call the credit company and tell them you are disputing. Get an address or fax number to send your copy of the canceled check and your paperwork. They should take it off for you. Remember to only send a copy of the check in case they try to say they never received it or they lose it. Keep the original for your records.
Do the merchant lose the money if the customer use stolen credit card?
Yes, assuming the victim discovers the problem and reports it. It's called a "charge back" and if too many are accrued to a merchant, that merchant not only loses all the money that was stolen but will also lose the "merchant account" and not be allowed to take credit cards any longer.
Does replacing a lost or stolen card count as opening a new account for credit scoring purposes?
It depends on whether or not you open a new account. Most of the time credit card companies transfer the account, keeping the starting date as the opening date of the account. The consumer is sent a new card, with a new number. The old account is notated "lost or stolen" and "transferred". If this is your situation, you are not taking a hit to your credit score. If, on the other hand, you open the account yourself. You may get an inexperienced customer service rep who takes the wrong sequence of steps and performs both a "hard" inquiry and causes a new account to generate. Either way, you will never lose the years of good history you have on the lost card account, but obviously, the first situation would be in your best interests. Call your credit card company and question them carefully about the procedure.

Is it legal for a restaurant to charge a 50 cent surcharge for using a credit card?
Quite a few restaurants charge a minimal fee for CC use. It isn't a matter of "legality". Just the way a place chooses to offset the accounting expenses. No it is not legal to surcharge 50 cents or any amount on a credit card, but yes it is legal to surcharge on a debit/check/atm card any amount. A situation has been going on where people are complaining about being surcharged on there debit cards. First of all some of these people are ignorant because they do not understand the difference between a credit card and a debit card and when there card is processed as debit they get upset arguing to run there debit card as credit. There debit card will never be a credit card, the money that gets authorized for a transaction on there card is debited out of there checking or savings account. Credit obviously is the money that a financial institution is authorizing you to borrow and if you do not return that money before the billing cycle you have to pay interest. Also, there are people that ignore the rates that a restaurant pay on each credit or debit transaction and sometimes the restaurants or mom and pop stores lose when someone buys a chocolate bar or a soda using there credit or debit card. The surcharge or convenience fee that the drive throughs charge helps maintain the low prices of the food due to what the mrchant pays for credit or debit card processing. Some of these places pay up to $1,500.00 a month on credit card processing. Bottom line, yes it is legal to surcharge $.50 or more on debit/check/atm card transactions. I have paid $.99 at a taco bell and $.75 at McDonalds. $.50 is quite decent.
