Since two out of my three credit cards are in limbo now, I'm stuck with one that currently has my old address as the billing address. Websites often say "billing address must match the correct one" but is a mismatch enough for the charge to be declined? |

My experience has been that it really depends on the site. Anything that is on a monthly automated payment likely won't care what your address is. Some sites with high fraud risk, like Paypal in particular, don't even let you complete the transaction until they have verified the correct billing address (I had this experience recently and it was frustrating because they are very exact in their verification!). It might be easier to just updated the billing address of the card itself. I changed my address at my bank when I moved a few months ago, and both my debit card billing addresses were updated as a result. I'm not sure if changing credit card billing addresses is more difficult, but if the issuing bank has a good online system, you should be able to update customer records there, like I did. Thanks Cyrus for your answer!

I have had similar declines when the address was updated. WE had tremendous problems when the post office decided to change our zip a few years ago. Some credit card sites had the old, and some the new zip-we had a rash of declines till we figured out the problem-then had to remember which had which, until their computers caught up with the change-which took about a year..... |
