3:49:46 PM

Dawn, I would like to inform you that you can't use the visa gift card to make a payment to words (she did it again) the account.

so, could I use my debit card? (yes, I was ignoring her direction...I was curious)
3:53:51 PM
R****** T***** (name changed to protect the innocent)
i am afraid you can't.
3:54:01 PM
Dawn Lovitt
can you explain why?
3:54:16 PM
Dawn Lovitt
it is from my checking account. (she said "you can use only your checking account to make payments.")
3:55:36 PM
R****** T***** (name changed to protect the innocent)

R****** T***** (name changed to protect the innocent)
Is there anything else apart from this I can assist you with?
3:56:04 PM
Dawn Lovitt
well, no (she did not REALLY assist me to begin with...)
3:56:11 PM
R****** T***** (name changed to protect the innocent)
Thank you.

SO, with that, know that I have needed to use their pay by phone option before. For some reason Dell can not seem to send me a statement on a regular basis to save my life. I have it on my calendar to go online and check my account every two weeks to make sure it is current...I should not have to do this. Anyway, when you pay by phone or online they charge you anywhere from $9.95 - $13.95. Even in this case where I was trying to get ahead of my payment. What WONDERFUL customer service.
