Has any one had any dealings with giving infomation about thier personal bank account or authorizing direct payments over the phone?

 I had a collector ask for bank info and an authorization for withdrawls - I guess I am concerned if they get that info if they can and will abuse it like take out more maney the specified or probe account info. If they recieved post dated checks - would that not be the same info?

I currently make payments via internet but the want a 'secure' payment - whatever that means when I consistently pay every month even though it is not the amount they are after.

Any thoughts on this matter would be apprciated

dams,

Use the payment method you feel the best about.  Continue as you are with how you are making those payments.  I use money orders as I feel that is the best for me.

It sounds to me like another attempt to control the situation on their part....I could be wrong though....
