The article did mention id theft, which could prevent you from using your bank account. This is uncalled for, ATT should go out of its way to help customers like this.

Unfortunatly, there are more people in this predictament than you'd know. This is a major reason for currency exchanges in the inner city....
On the other hand, the way banks are running these days it might be atually cheaper! |

While I'm not a Comcast fanboy, your statement is a little unfair as the news item says it was ATT.  |

What does this have to do with Comcast? Their are a lot of reasons why ATT sucks but I just don't see this as one of them. I have also had my problems with Comcast too but paying in person does not seem to be a problem. |

Instead of a bank account why not just get one of those Walmart or Walgreens refillable debit cards |

Ok, explain to me how an identify theft victim, with their accounts locked down/closed, is going to pay bills online at the local library. They got some bill feeders hooked to their PC's there where U can feed in cash?

It has since been changed to say ATT. Apparently, that change also made it into my quote.  |

It's not really all that hard to sign up for a checking account these days.
WaMu offers a free checking account that gives you unlimited free paper checks, a debit card and free online bill pay. You don't even need direct deposit. Just walk into a branch and set up the account. You don't get any interest, but that's not the point of a checking account anyway.
Most credit unions offer really inexpensive plans as well.
The last time I actually paid a fee to a bank was when I had some money wired to me from Canada.
There are a lot of people who don't trust banks and would rather keep their money as cash stuffed in their mattress, but that's more a matter of financial education.

I have gone to only a debt card and cash, for me, I like it. But the Wal-Mart card would be better if only because most are open 24 hrs a day, while most ( depends on where you are ) currency exchanges are open during the day, like most of the Western Unions. |

Maybe if you read the article, there was a reason this woman did not have a checking account at the time.  |
