Thank you.  That sounds like good advice.  As for using the card - I
cut it up as soon as I got it, but evidently that isn't enough.  I
will call the AG tomorrow.  They did provide an address, but in
searching the newsgroups and forums, apparently they ignore these
written notices, I will send mine certified return receipt and am
considering filing in small claims.
