Be aware that French CC's are not like UK or US CC's. Balances are automatically taken out of your account twice a month.

[Trouble at the Bank?]

Shame on that nasty old bank for not cashing a check with no money in the account to cover it! If I were the plumber I would really be anxious to come and do work for you again.
