Payment Drop Boxes

Economy takes toll on families, animals

DANVILLE — The Vermilion County Animal Shelter keeps a box of Kleenex on its counter for those who have to give up their pets.

“It’s hard on us to see people cry — they’re devastated,” volunteer Nancy Gulick said.

Pets are feeling the pinch of a tough economy, as more owners find it’s too expensive to feed and maintain the health of an animal. Representatives at all three shelters say they’ve seen an increase in the number of animals surrendered or abandoned by their owners.

The higher number of animals puts a strain on the shelters, too, which have their own financial struggles.

City shelter

At the Humane Society of Danville, workers are picking up more dogs that have been dumped. Recently, someone left five dogs in the shelter yard, all apparently from the same household.

Shawn Miller, who will become shelter director in July, said people may be turning their animals loose so they don’t have to pay the turn-in fee at the shelter — $7 per dog and $5 per cat. However, the shelter will work out a payment plan if a family turns in several pets at once.

The fees help cover the pet’s expenses, such as food, he said, adding, “We don’t think it’s too much to ask.”

When people do turn in an animal, the most common reason is that they’re moving, Miller said.

Miller said it’s much better for the pet if the owner turns it in. In that case, the dog or cat can be put on the adoption floor right away, and it has a better chance of finding a home.

Otherwise, all strays picked up have to be held seven days, which is stressful on the animal.

If a pet gets loose, the owner has to pay several fees to reclaim it, including the $35 impound fee and $5 a day boarding. If needed, there’s also a $7.50 fee for a city license, $15 for a microchip and $20 for vaccinations.

Some people would rather leave the animal at the shelter than pay those costs. However, Miller said, a responsible owner comes looking for his pet.

There is no screening process to adopt an animal from the city shelter, but the staff reserves the right to reject a person based on past history or if there are suspicions about his ability to care for the pet.

In 2010, the city shelter adopted out 307 dogs and cats, returned 306 to their owners, picked up 154 bodies and euthanized 902.

Wrong late payment & interest charged in Deutsche Bank credit Card

I used to pay my Deutsch bank credit card bills before due date using this drop box at moon telecom, during this period. You can get my past payment track record from Bank’s system. But unfortunately due to delayed service of drop box clearance at Moon telecom, Gurgaon or due to irregular opening of the shop (Feb-May’2009), my credit card payment was not credited in to my account before due date despite of dropping the cheque 5-6days before the due date always. Also there was no timely delivery of statement (either soft or hard copy) from bank side from Feb-May’11. Though I used to drop my cheque in the same drop box but always I have found very late clearance. I had intimated to their Customer care several times regarding this late clearance though it is in NCR. I do not think ICICI cheque of NCR will take 9-10days for the clearance and so I have been charged late payment fee as well as huge interest. Though I requested Deutsch Bank to wave off late payment charges and the interest charged (without my fault) but still they did not agree for that. I paid all the transactions I had done in that card except that late payment & interest charges & requested customer care to cancel my credit card in 2009. In the last 2years they have charged late payment & interest every month and have accumulated a huge amount of Rs20,000 approximately. They have created mental agony despite of my regular transaction and payments for a long time as a good customer.
