You missed that part I guess.
And I not griping about the rates, just showing you what they do. It has nothing to do with 'bad credit'. They pumped me up 9% about 5 years ago to, along with about 2 million other card holders. No reason, except we all most likely payed every month in full.
You know, credit card companies call people who pay every month "deadbeats". Pretty pathetic. Personally, I don't use a card if I can't pay it in full at the end of the month. Doesn't mean the ccc's aren't predatory.
I'm with you on this one, Mr. P. RSR and Hobbit are way too young and have no understanding of what happens when unexpected emergencies occur, so it's easy for them to talk. I see people in Court all the time who are being sued by credit card companies who jacked up their interest rates so high they couldn't pay their bills anymore... usually after the loss of a job or unanticipated medical expenses.
But to these guys, it's ok if corporations go belly up to relieve themselves of their pension obligations, but real people should get the short end of the stick. Very sad.
