I'm sorry for attacking you.
But you should get a check card. even with bad credit it doesn't matter because the check card isn't attached to a line of credit. it's only attached to your checking account. you don't get a credit limit, your limit is the balance of your checking account.
If your bank told you you couldn't get one because of your credit, they are full of it and you need a new bank...
: Hey,
: Of course I've heard of a check card. Unfortunately, when I was 18, I was terrible with finances and destroyed my credit (including with banks). Therefore, when I opened the checking account, they'd give me that, but they wouldn't give me a check card. And no, I'm not one of those people that writes checks in grocery store lines and the like. I usually have enough curtousy to take out the money I'm going to need before hand. I just have problems when I order things over the Internet, but usually places are willing to cater. So I just wanted to see if that would be the case here as well.
