Thread: Payments / refunds in the US

Bank statements are legal documents. i.e. If you have a bank statement that you sent a payment to account nr X with transaction code Y, the document is indisputable.

Also, you don't really need a computer. All banks have a number of special ATM terminals that allow you to perform transactions. You can do that at any office of the bank you are with.
In fact I don't do home banking because I have no faith in online security.

Employers always pay by bank transfer, because it is much easier for them. There isn't an employer who pays cash these days, unless they pay a percentage under the table, so to speak.

I pay my rent through ATM currently because I accidently destroyed some security file needed to online bank.

Would cost me 15 Danish to do it inside the bank at the cashier which is about 3 USD I think

There is a possibility of wiring money like you described Bart, but it's all up to the bank that you do business with. Mine makes it easy as long as the account you're wiring to is within the bank. Outside of it and you run into problems. Then again, my checking account is entirely free, so I can see why they don't just provide it.

Given that this post was built by citing a quote from me, I'll be the first to say I'm all for wiring money or any other method than the one apparently chosen by Harrelson to refund my money from my defective GDLP.

I sent it to him by Priority mail on 9/15/2008 and have yet to receive a refund. After making an inquiry, Harrelson stated that his wife I believe, mailed me a refund check on 9/24/2008. I have not received it yet. I had paid for the GDLP by Paypal originally and assumed he would refund back to my Paypal account. He mentioned that he'd be "eating" the cost of my GDLP personally by refunding the money back to me. Maybe that's why he chose to mail a check rather than do a Paypal refund?

At any rate, still no check.
