This experience of having them try to charge your credit card for
the stopped check shows the advantage of using the credit card in
the first place.  When you buy something with a credit card and then
have trouble with the store/mail order house/etc., you can go to the
credit card issuer, and they MUST resolve the problem for you (by
federal law).  This clout has come in handy in the past when
mail order houses did not believe in refunding discounts and
handling charges on merchandise which was lost or damaged in
shipment.
