Matt on FRONTLINE: The SECRET History of The Credit Card

VERY INTERESTING:
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/credit/view/

The above link leads to PBS's "Frontline" program that investigates the banking and credit card history. I feel it is very important for any credit card consumers that they watch this report. It might reveal to you many disconcerting facts about how the credit industry is ran in the United States, and act as proof as to why reform is greatly needed.

Thanks Matt! I actually got a letter last year for one card that the corporation was deeply concerned that I was paying off my card too quickly. They acted like I was out of my mind. HA!

Isn't that the craziest thing? Thanks, Darl!

I'm in the process of disputing several credit card charges that I never made. I'm feeling extremely vulnerable. I should have taken my Dad's advice, "pay cash for everything and save your receipts". Hindsight is 20/20. GRRRR

I hope that you get the matter cleaned up. Thanks for commenting, Dorothy!

Thank you, Norman. Unfortunately, credit cards are a necessary evil in business. Were I still working the jobs I had before I owned my own business, I doubt I would have one, or I would only have one small one for limited use.
