https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Debit-vs-Credit-Card-Use-Liability/m-p/208577#M92818 <P>I was listening to Clark Howard today and he says that you are liable for any charges using a debit card if someone steals the card/number. For those using "credit", i.e., Mastercard, etc you are only liable for the first $50, which I knew that. What I did not know was about the Debit card. You could owe thousands of dollars. I am going to call my bank to be sure, but if this is true, I will not be using my debit card anymore. </P> <P>I know they often ask if this is a debit or credit transaction and the only difference is you have to sign for credit. Does anyone know if using the debit card as a "credit" transaction might be any safer.</P> Mon, 04 Jun 2012 20:27:33 GMT Missey1 2012-06-04T20:27:33Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Debit-vs-Credit-Card-Use-Liability/m-p/208577#M92818 <P>I was listening to Clark Howard today and he says that you are liable for any charges using a debit card if someone steals the card/number.
