    Question by Dan J: Can LLC debts go on my personal credit report?
    My LLC went under, but stills owes money on a credit card machine lease that hasn’t been paid on in months. I opened the account before there was a tax ID, so they used my SS#. Can they affect my personal credit or am I protected by the LLC?

    It depends. Did you run your LLC under your social or the EIN of the business? Limited Liability Company just means if someone sued you that they couldn’t take your home and everything you have because of the business. If you used the business EIN then you’re safe…if not, of course it’s going on your credit report it’s the number you gave them to report too..

    Question by sunglasses: How to take credit card?
    Hi guys,

    If I’m doing telemarketing or door-to-door sales, how do I close the sale and get them to pay?

    I’m guessing I can just take their credit card info? But what if it’s like telemarketing and they can’t be physically in front of my credit card machine?

    Should I setup a merchant account to accept credit cards?

    How should I instruct my salesmen to close the sales? If the prospect is convinced, do the salesmen just take their credit cards and process it on the spot? How? Do they need to carry a credit card machine around?
    Can I just use Paypal for something like this?
    It’s B2B – business to business, so selling marketing packages to business owners.

    Question by : credit card fraud??????????????
    Guys, i recently found out an unknown credit card charge on my account and called my bank and they said my card has been compromised. I live in Denver and this amount has been charged 2 days ago from new york for an amount of $ 25. I dont have any automatic payment set up other than my cell phone bill and that comes up around $ 75 every month. Also, I check my online bill like atleast 2-3 times weekly just to makes sure I recognize all transactions.This one didnt had any details about the merchant who made the charge and so i got doubt.i called the fraud dept and they said, it was made from NY and I immediately canceled the card. I had 2 guys from a local sprinkler repair system come down to my house 3 days ago to repair my sprinkler system and i gave my credit card as payment expecting they have a credit card machine. But they didnt had any machine, wrote down my card no, exp date and 3 digit code at the back.I was little scared to see that, the next day my card been charged from NY. Do you guys think they might be behind this?
    They charged the labor cost separately on my card, but this amount was made the day after they charged me the labor cost. Its only $ 25 and so I am not that worried. But should i go track this issue and figure out if they are the culprit? i would be pissed if they got anything to do with this.

    You need to be set up as a merchant that accepts credit cards. there are numerous service companies that can sign you up for that. I also recommend you arrange to accept PayPal.

    Costco is pretty popular for small merchants. Link below.

    Question by 12dorothy12: Smart card VTM machines–is my credit card information safe?
    They just upgraded my laundry room. Now we can only use a smart card to operate the machines. We have to use a VTM to add value to the card, no cash, credit/debit card transactions only. How safe is my credit card information? I don’t want to be a victim of identity theft because of a couple loads of laundry. Any help on t his is appreciated.

    Answer by Cliff P
    Do not worry. You are pretty safe there. VISA/MC set pretty high standards for equipment makers and processors. Plus the machines can only process a card if it has been programed by a processor.
