The age of credit cards had added convenience for society, but also some very real risks of fraud and misuse. While shopping on the Internet, for example, there isn't anyone to match up the credit card with a driver's license or a face, and anonymity can mean that anyone is using that credit card number.

To fight back, credit card companies are using security measures to be sure that the person buying items is actually the same person that is signed up for the card and the bills that come to their house.

It would appear that even though their "friends" aren't as flexible as they used to be, consumers are still stretching their credit cards beyond the comfort zone.

The vicious circle of debt manipulation involving banks, consumers and commercial credit companies is putting consumer spending under strain, as funds begin to dry up. In May 2005, the Financial Times reported the accusation that banks were fuelling Britain's personal debt problem by repeatedly offering debt-ridden customers loans they were unable to repay.

As the UK's personal debt increases by £1 million every four minutes, credit card spending habits still seem to be spiralling...

According to www.smallbusiness.yahoo.com,if the company is successfully invoicing the customers, you may be put off by the costs of merchant services, which take a percentage of all your sales. However, avoiding potential loss from non-payment can quickly make up for the expense. Plus, you will no longer have to spend staff time issuing late invoice notices or wait 30, 60 or even 90 days for invoices to be paid. Credit cards allow funds to be transferred to your bank account in less than a week. This can be a welcome relief for businesses that experience a tight cash flow.
