I expect that they won't give my CC number to anyone who doesn't have something to do with collecting the money, no matter *who* they work for. I really don't care if they contract all their accounting out to some other company, that's their decision. I've already trusted their judgement about who in their company they let see the credit card number; I see no reason not to trust their judgement about the company they choose to handle the transaction. My only problem with this one is that they are terminating the business relationship. That makes me worry that they might not have take appropriate care in their choice. > Oh well, fortunatly my credit card expired.

I've had internet orders placed at company 1, shipped from company 2, and the cc account lists company 3. The internet makes doing business this way easier for businesses as well as consumers. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
