Did you know that merchants are not allowed to ask for ID when using credit cards?
2Question : Did you know that merchants are not allowed to ask for ID when using credit cards?
Contrary to popular belief, it’s not illegal but against Visa policy to require ID for acceptance. In other words, you CANNOT deny a sale because I refuse to show ID.
Visa’s official statement:
Some customers write “See ID” or “Ask for ID” in the signature panel, thinking that this is a deterrent against fraud or forgery; that is, if their signature is not on the card, a fraudster will not be able to forge it. In reality, criminals don’t take the time to practice signatures: they use cards as quickly as possible after a theft and prior to the accounts being blocked. They are actually counting on you not to look at the back of the card and compare signatures—they may even have access to counterfeit identification with a signature in their own handwriting. “See ID” or “Ask for ID” is not a valid substitute for a signature. The customer must sign the card in your presence, as stated above.
How many of you knew that?
Visa official statement from merchant agreement:
Although Visa rules do not preclude merchants from asking for cardholder ID, merchants cannot make an ID a condition of acceptance. Therefore, merchants cannot refuse to complete a purchase transaction because a cardholder refuses to provide ID. Visa believes merchants should not ask for ID as part of their regular card acceptance procedures. Laws in several states also make it illegal for merchants to write a cardholder’s personal information, such as an address or phone number, on a sales receipt.

Are Mortgage Companies allowed to give an Adjustable Rate Mortgage(ARM) to lenders of a certain age?
2Question : Are Mortgage Companies allowed to give an Adjustable Rate Mortgage(ARM) to lenders of a certain age?
I understand that some law prohibits mortgage lenders from giving ARM to people over certain age. I am 54 years old and I am struggling with this rate now. Someone told me I could use this fact to persuade my lenders to reduce my interest rate, or to move me to a fixed rate. Is this true?

How come health insurance companies are allowed to discriminate against people with disabilities?
4Question : How come health insurance companies are allowed to discriminate against people with disabilities?
How is it legal for health insurance companies to discriminate against people with disabilities (I mean, medical disabilities), but other companies are not allowed to, like grocery stores are not allowed to? Or maybe it IS legal for other businesses to discriminate against people I am really just curious, that’s all. About the legal process. Health insurance companies kind of make me mad, because of this issue. I know I am expressing a political opinion, but I ask you not to troll.

Answer by Josh
You mean in writing policies? That’s one of the reasons we need health care reform, the insurance companies exclude people with pre-existing conditions. Which kind of ruins the whole concept of insurance, which is based on pooled risk.

Answer by california bill
No if they cal it only “insurance” or “Shipping”. They get around it (just like the high shipping costs when you buy things through the mail or TV) by calling it Shipping and Handling. Any excees over their cost of Shipping can be attibuted to the cost of “handling.” Most FF use the cargo insurance as a profit center marking it up as high as the market will bear. You can get your own cargo policy if you ship alot. The typical rate is 25 cents per $ 100. of values. The kicker is the miniumum pemium is around $ 2,500 per year so you have to be spending more than that with a FF if you are to save any money.
Why were two civilian consumers not allowed to testify at the recent US Senate hearing on Debt Settlement?
1Question : Why were two civilian consumers not allowed to testify at the recent US Senate hearing on Debt Settlement?
I work in Debt Settlement for an extremely ethical, 100% above-board company who work to assist our customers with legally, legitimately getting out of (unsecured) debt so they can move on with their lives. Yes, legislation is needed to regulate the industry to ensure that all Debt Settlement companies have clearly defined requirements that protect consumers, but our government is trying to villify the industry as a whole, exemplifying contempt without genuine investigation.
