has
that amount of credit available.

need
their first and last name, social security number, and Case number.
What is the CVV2/ CVC2 3-digit security code and where do I find it?
The CVV2/ CVC2 3-digit security code is an added security measure. It is used to establish that you
are
in possession of the credit card. The code is printed just above the signature panel in reverse
italics
on the back of your card. Usually your card number precedes it.
My credit card transaction was declined, what should I do?
You will need to contact your credit card company to determine why the payment was not authorized.
It
could have been declined for one of the following reasons:
· The credit card number and/ or CVV2/ CVC2 security code was incorrectly entered.
· There is a discrepancy between the address you entered and the billing address that is on file
with
the card-issuing bank. You must enter the billing address that appears on your credit card
statement.
· A foreign address (a country other than the US) was entered. The web site is unable to process
credit
card payments with a foreign address.
· There is insufficient credit available for the payment amount.
