pd1.pfan is trying to help relax,but i do feel the way you do somewhat,and thats exactly what i was thinking .i do have a nrtteller debt card and i use it to withdraw money all the time.never had a check written to me from these places,but i figure you use the debit card and withdraw a 5k check once in a while from netteller .wouldnt like to keep that high of a balance in there but wtf,better than paying to the man.
