"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.

Ya think?

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.

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’d like to see all the wonderful stuff she bought for $6K plus interest.

BoA is a worthless welfare queen. They have no business charging any customer interest considering they already raped billions of dollars in bailout money out of us.

They also lend money to illegals. BoA can go to hell.

You signed for it, you own it, you charge on it and you pay it. Banks are not welfare organizations. What you’re doing is making the banks raise rates to us to cover your debt. You are one irresponsible person. Bet she’s a liberal/Rat .... the other thing that makes me mad is those commercials that tell you they’ll negotiate your CC debt to a lower amount. Right - that’ll be on your credit report for seven years.

It is not just BoA that is doing things to consumers. I had a Chase account that was closed by them. My high balance at one time was $3,200.00. I paid them on time and 15% of the bill every month. However these rocket-scientists forgot that this was at )5 interest. Now they get minimum payments and still 0% interest. I have read other horror stories about Chase recently as well.

Usury is a sin. There should be predatory lending laws that cap credit card rates.

Sorry, but no. The bank jacked her rate up. It was tied to Prime. Same thing happened to me. My interest rate is now fixed at 4%. What BofA is doing is horsesh*t.They received a bunch of tax payer money, then arbitrarily jacked up people rates.
