Sunday

a few years ago, I went through the screens of paypal until I got to the one shown above that has a button to click to pay by credit card. This was the 2nd time I had paid this way. First time - no problem. 2nd time - I did the exact same thing but somehow I ended up with a paypal account that I did not want or consent to. I have no idea how this happened. I did not nor do I now want an account with paypal. I got monthly notices from them showing my account, Finally, after some research and several tries, I was able to close and delete my account.

Now I renew my dues the old fashioned way - send DU a check through snail mail.
