It's not the phone company that caused my problem, but the phone company is the effect of my problem.

The cause is my local bank... I had ordered a pizza, and the money was in there, but the phone company don't accept personal checks (prepaid jobbie)
so I gave them my card number to get the money electronically, and they did, and my banks ONLINE balance wasn't the same as the TRUE balance. and I had $350 being wired from my paypal account, and wouldn't you know, that check for the pizza had slipped through, the one day between the phone taking thier money, and the wire making it into my account.

Cool, a bounced check, I THOUGHT I had protection, but apparently I was a few days before hitting the minimum required signup time to be eligible for protection.

A bad check is alright, only $23 and the $13.88 for the pizza, but they ran it through twice, cause according to my ONLINE banking, it said the check went through.

When I found out it bounced again, I started getting pissed... Then the credit agency got the check, I thought cool. As long as they have it, no more bouncing... WRONG
They want the money, plus $25...

All in all that pizza has costed over $100
Fighting with this bank, and the phone company, and sales being low, I have been set back.

The Kicker...
Last week My PC crashed, and I have not been able to get it going, all my stuff is on there, I have some stuff on back up, but not the most recent... Got the mac going temporary, had to get some software to work with, so I was not able to get shit done for a week 1/2... and this is the WORST time this could happen.

Hope that sums it up for ya...

There is more, but that is the basics.
