5/9 I'm using Wells Fargo's online statement. I like it a lot better than
ETrade and other companies because they output my statement to a PDF
file which I can keep. This is important for me because of a lawsuit
that I was involved in where I couldn't produce a statement because
my old bank didn't produce a PDF file (just plain HTML) and didn't go
back further than 6 months. What bank do you have, how long do they
keep statements, and do they output PDF or HTML?
\_ So they court would have accepted PDF or paper, but not HTML? Why?
\_ So the court would have accepted PDF or paper, but not HTML? Why?
\_ Personally, for my financial related documents, I choose to receive
the paper version instead of the online version for exactly the
reason you mentioned above.
\_ Seconded. I still choose paper statements for this reason, even
though I know I'm risking ID theft at my mailbox.
\_ I use TD Waterhouse as both a brokerage and a bank account. The
statements they have on their website are in HTML format, but they
keep them around / available forever.
\_ Don't know which OS you are using, but most financial
institutions with online services have a "view printable
version of statement" link, which I click on, and then print
the ensuing HTML page to a PDF file on my Mac. |
