There was an earlier post alerting consultants that HO has sped up the amount of time they are debiting our accounts for shows....well, I made a deposit from a show on 3/10 and on 3/13 (3 days later) the money was debited from my account. This doesn't give any time if a check from that show has insufficient funds. Make sure you have a cushion in your account just in case.
