Idiots (cc issuers) gave my daughter an unsolicited credit card while she was in college on my dime and unemployed.

Actually she had enough sense to not use it...although she admits to activating the card. But guess what? The card came with fees. You got it, she never paid the CC fee and interest and late fees began to accrue at a usury rate. Next thing she knew, the CC issuer was demanding somewhere around 1500.00 due.

Just this week I learned my wife had received an unsolicited shell credit card. She ran them thru the shredder and figured it done. But no, now comes a bill from shell cc for 25.00 for some mysterious select fee with a minimum payment of 10.00 due by the 13th of Jan.

I lost it and immediately called the offshore Indian agent about this bogus charge on a cc we never asked for nor never activated. Had we not handled this immediately that 25.00 dollar fee would have turned into thousands due in no time with our credit ruined...just like our daughters did and was.

Credit cards and the companies that issue them are evil. I checked the rate on the bogus shell card statement, it was 21.99 apr with a one day late fee of 39.00. That's evil.

I am not sure if the usurers of the past were so brazen.
