Reply #26: Thank GOD I no longer have

any cards, and I never, ever will again. I love tearing up all the pre-approved offers I get each week and sending them back with a note telling them to fuck off because they're never getting me under their economic slavery thumb ever again.

When I lost a job five years ago, I only had two card that had only about $400-500 balance each. By the time I was able to pay anything on them again, several months later, the balance on each was over two THOUSAND dollars due to all of their fucking late fees, penalties, charges, etc., etc., etc. I got a small inheritance and managed to pay them both off and will NEVER have cards again. The cc banks/companies can all go fuck themselves from here to hell and back.

And they actually consider people who pay the full balance on time each month to be deadbeats, can you believe that? They make money off of interest, so it actually costs them money when you pay the full balance on time, despite all of their whining about how much it costs them when we don't pay on time. Economic fascists is what they are.
