I hear Chapter 11 calling Citi’s name.

So you think these big financial institutions would cut you any slack if your suddenly found yourself in a situation where maybe you couldn't meet your obligations to them? No, they'd cancel your card and raise your interest rates up to 30% and turn you in to the credit reporting agencies as a bad credit risk and destroy your life.

Back when I was in my twenties, I ran into some financial difficulties and couldn't make the full payment on my gasoline cards. I had one from Texaco and one from Chevron. Texaco worked with me until I got on my feet, but Chevron told me pound sand and turned me into the credit agencies when I couldn't make the payment in full.

I have never again bought a nickle's worth of gas at a Chevron station. I would rather walk five miles with a gas can to a Texaco station than to buy a nickle's worth of gas from Chevron.

I have absolutely no doubt that most financial institutions would rather ruin their customers lives than work with them. Having said that, respect to Texaco! In the past I too have run foul of these companies so now I do not have a credit card out of choice.

I had the same problem at the same age with Mobil.

I’ve NEVER gone back.

Chevron actually acquired Texaco in 2001, so you might switch to ExxonMobil or one of the other conglomerates.
