If you are like me, you may be fed up with all the data that credit card co's are building up on . Anyone ever gone cardless and rely only on cash? Sounds like heaven!

Yep. Some years back.
Hubby and I are on a cash only basis. If we don't have the money, we don't get it. We keep a small bank account for emergencies (auto repair, etc). I do have a debit card, but as other person said ... that is like writing a check, but easier.
There are occassional drawbacks ... but very very few compared to credit.

I'm 36, I've never had a credit or debit card in my life. I have two cards that are cash only from the ATM, no money in the account means no money out of the wall.
I am 100% cash only excepting I use chewued but ONLY counter cheques that again, rely on there being money in my account.
I paid for my car cash... Nice result there, I pay for everything cash, and regularly get much better workmanship, and a reduction in price.
It's not heaven, but it's better than credit and spending on the never never.

Yes I finally got rid of mine this year and it is fantastic not to have that plastic headache. I have a visa card for my bank but I pay for everything in cash or a cheque and it has taken all the worry out of it and also cut down on spending. A card becomes a habbit and it is difficult to break but once done you will get used to it.

yes, I have not used a credit card in over 6 years. I rely on cash or a check ( rarely, just for big ticket items ) and I am much more aware of my cash flow and I never spend more than I have and I am out of debt. It works

Got rid of all credit cards & kept debit card with visa on it. Not a credit card but still don't have to carry cash. Its a nice feeling not having any.

The law does protect you against information being held on you that is not essential for the credit card companies and banks to manage your accounts.
You have a right to see all of the information that is held on you by the banks and card companies and if there is anything on there that is unnecessary, incorrect, or over 6 years old you could get it removed.

Never had a credit card! It's the best way! Less bills at the end of the month & no interest on things I buy!
And yes, it is heaven!

I wish i could.. i have a few debts here and there.
However, i don't use them anymore.. just paying off the debts that i do have.
I have to say, i feel more of a degree of satisfaction and control when i pay with a card from my bank account.. you're consious of what you are spending.
Credit cards are a far too easy way of getting yourself into instant trouble!!

The card business is controled by jews and someone told me the saturn appears in the horizon and from USA it covers the whole planet to make every one slave.
Have No Cards and U are freed from slavery.
Someone in the answer said it is convineant and has enough money in the bank.
If he has enough money why do U need a card. Slave.
