@professoroverdraft: A thief drains $1,800 of rent money from a debit card 💳 What the law actually does about it, with a made-up example. 1. A debit card spends the cardholder's own cash straight from checking. A credit card spends the card company's money until the bill is paid. 2. Under Regulation E, if a stolen debit card is reported within two business days, the loss is capped at $50. After that it can reach $500. 3. If an unauthorized charge on a statement goes unreported for 60 days, there is no cap on later charges. 4. The bank has 10 business days to investigate. If it takes longer, it generally has to put the money back provisionally while it finishes, which can take weeks. 5. On a credit card, federal law caps unauthorized charges at $50, and big card companies usually charge $0. Facts from the CFPB (Regulation E, 12 CFR 1005.6 and 1005.11) and the Fair Credit Billing Act. This is general education, not advice for your situation. What should I cover next? Comment it, and send this to a friend who carries a debit card. #financialfreedom #fyp #Finance #MoneyHabits
