When you have a debit card?

and you use it as a credit card to buy things online, does the company mail a bill to your house? Or, do they just bill it to the credit/debit card company and there is never actually a paper bill sent out?

Answer:
A debit card (even though it carries a Mastercard or Visa or whatever logo) is just basically a check.

When you use the debit card, it's just like writing a check, except that the transaction goes through faster.

So, no, you're not sent a bill. The only record of the transaction you'll see is on your bank statement - usually sent out once a month. It will usually show as a debit card transaction, or as an ATM transaction.
good question, i'd like to know too.
dont use credit cards
It comes out of your debit, and you are sent a monthly statement.(not a bill though)
A debit card is connected directly to a checking or savings account. You don't get a bill. Until you overdraw it.
No, it comes right out of your checking account no bill. The only thing you should get from your bank is a statement at the end of the month saying what stores or companies money was deducted from.
They bill your debit card. And they send you a receipt for your purchases.
They bill it to the credit/debit card company.
you get a confirmation number, then on your bank statement, it shows the charge
no, it comes right out of your checking account.

your bank should have the deduction online. that is, if you have online banking and you can check your account status.
if it is a DEBIT card (and not a credit card) you will never get a bill.it will just show up on your checking acct statement.
Its an electronic transfer from your checking account, the only paper you see is your monthly bank statement.
with a debit card the money goes out the bank straight away
so you dont get billed you get less money but you bank statement will show where you spent the nmoney
I think it just comes straight out of your checking account, you don't get a bill..I haven't
No bill is sent out, you can only use it as a credit card if you have an agreed overdraft w. the bank otherwise they will hit you w. all kinds of charges.
it comes directly out of your bank account and you get a bank statement every month
no paper bill sent out. just gets deducted from your checking account.
its deducted from the account directly and it shows on your statement that is mailed to you or you can check your account by checking it online
it is automatically taken out of your checking account. The only paperwork you get is the bank statement for that month.
there is no paper or bill involed. they debit the money right out of your account instantly. hence the word debit card.
A debit card automatically deducts any purchases from your checking or savings account at your bank (depending on which account is tied to your debit card). There is never actually a paper bill, but usually the company you ordered the product from will send an invoice with the item that your ordered. When you get your bank account statement the purchase will be listed there as an electronic payment.
When you use your debit as a credit card, it comes directly out of your checking. If you don't have overdraft protection, charges will apply for not having enough money in the account.
Comes directly out of your checking or savings and you won't see a bill only on your statement from the bank.
No, they usually send the receipt to the issuing bank for verification so it can be paid. otherwise, it is dropped from your card if they don't receive it in 3-5 days.
It is directly deducted from your checking/savings acct.If you order something that is delivered it will have a packing list and invoice enclosed, that shows proof of purchase and serves as a receipt
almost 100% of the time they take it straight out of your of your bank account.
What I'd like to know is why this Stuart guy makes all his answers say "Typing".

Oh, I get it. He puts down "typing" so he can get one of the first spots on the answers list, then edits it and gives a real answer. That makes sense now.
You will receive a paper receipt, But not a bill.
if its a debit card and used as credit then the money is taken out of your account. Most Debit Cards are set up to be withdrawn from checking accounts. So you use the card at a shop and its like wrighting a check except the money comes out faster. Hope your not overdrawn!
