"But who has $6,000 just lying around?" Minch said.

When you needed $6K worth of stuff? Apparently, not you. You can thank the bank later.

A better “Debtor’s Revolt” is to pay it off, and do “Plastic Surgery” a la Dave Ramsey!

Huh. A few years ago Wells Fargo raised our rate, I just called them and said lower it or I am going some where else. They did.
But now I don’t carry a balance, it doesn’t matter.

I agree with her. Credit cards companies are downright criminal in their acts.

>> Minch said middle-class America is fed up.

Well, I’m a member of middle-class America, and I can assure you that I’m fed up... with profligate spendthrifts like Minch.

Uhmmm...she made every payment on time...pays her high taxes which is used to bail out the bank then gets her rate changed to 30%?

Screw you bank apoligist. Tell me why they have the right to do that to her? Hmmmm.

I have a mortgage with BOA. (I know! But they haven’t messed with me for some reason...)

After 0bama started dissin’ the banks and Wall Street, every month I’d put this statement in the ‘Memo’ area on my checks:

“My President says you’re a Predatory Lender, so you can Kiss My @ss!”

LOL! I’m hoping the minimum wage, illegal, Accounts Receivable clerk got a chuckle out of it!

When Minch started going over back statements, she realized the bank in January had raised her rate from 12.99 to 24.49 percent. But Minch said the bank didn't send her a letter, so she missed the change.

Ummm... they sent you a statement. Did you expect a hand written registered letter?

They raised my rate too and I have a high credit score. I just did a balance transfer to 0 percent and escaped.

Parasites ...like the banks that charge outrageous amounts of interest then make bad loans and want me to bail them out?

You need be a self loather, then you would be on the right track.

Right idea, wrong application of it.

Better idead would be for people to do this around April 15th to Uncle Stalin. Like, millions and millions of people. Taxpayer revolt. If the Congress won’t stop spending money like water, bailing everything under the sun out with our money, raise our taxes, and raise the debt ceiling whenever they want, then give themselves pay raises for f@cking this all up (Barney, Pelosi, Reid, O-hole), let’s stop sending in taxes, take tons of deductions, and start buying things on craigslist and going back to doing some good old fashioned bartering and private sales.

Yes, you’re given the chance to pay off the balance at the old rate; that is, if you pay it off in full!

I think thats what she saying. She was on Fox and said she had paid every payment on time, but since the bailout they raised her rate from 12 to 30% for no reason. All she wanted was to still pay her old (high rate).

After she had paid on that amount for as long as she had she had already covered the principle yet still owed the full balance. I know its poor money management but she had a point, when does it stop!
