Stop Credit Card Companies Raising rates, CNN & Fox, Aggressively cover these stories!!

Most all Americans that have credit card debt have seen their rates as well as credit limits reduced close to their balances because the credit card companies are racing the clock to raise them while they have time left to take advantage of good paying customers with many that have never been late on credit card payments. Bank of America & Citi Bank is among the worst. The government has passed new laws preventing such actions by credit card companies when the customers are "NOT" in default. The tentative deadline was in September and now that has been extended to 2010 through the holiday season. Americans will grossly see their rates or limits become affected at the worst time of year for retailers. Retailers as well need to speak out as I have given an example in this video with Citi Bank, the credit card company for Home Depot and the only getting hurt is the customer and Home Depot.

These companies are lowering credit limits on balances so that the balance appears to be maxed out to your credit limit. This done on most all of your cards as we are seeing and will affect your credit score drastically and that in itself ought to be the crime. Hurting your credit score by no fault of your own and not be able to correct it without payoff your credit card totally.

Never been late on payments and have your score reduced because your limits have been reduced to your balance is the growing problem and also lends itself to the market not growing because consumers will not use those cards do to rates as well as credit limits being reduced. The only way to beat the system is to pay the cards off and most all Americans that have debt cannot due that so you are being taken advantage of with no way but the government to intervene and stop them.

This country has not seen the damage in its entirety as of yet do to the abuse of the credit card companies rushing to raise rates and lower limits while they have an extended grace period to do so. In 2010 the damage will already be done so the movement needs to stop them immediately to salvage what is left of the consumer base in this country.

Glad you are speaking out! Keep at it! People can also contact the office of the Comptroller of the Currentcy to file a complaint.

These problems with higher rates are all based on risk to that bank. I explain this in my video today. It is clear they all assume good paying customers will fail and they impose a higher rate to protect themselves when they are actually placing good customers at greater risk by raising their rates and not being able to pay. Then you are faced with bankruptcy or a debt consolidation company where the bank settles for 20-30cents on the dollar. Now banks are doomed to fail with their customers!

theres a simple solution to credit card debt....don't use a credit card. the problem is people want more and more things, and if they don't have the money they just use there credit card, because they are greedy and want to acquire more and more material things so they "feel rich" even though they are poor. stop being materialistic and you would not have these problems. dont buy a half a million dollar house when you dont have a half a million dollars....simple as that.

why fight swipe free? it has really nothing to do with the consumers? I am not bring $1000 cash to the store and purchase a computer or tv..etc. If there is no swipe fee , will the retails lower the price of the product?

I have a friend who wrecked a rental car and was charged 25K on his credit card.

You have to hide income and employer info or they'll sue to garnish wages. Lay low, quiet, until the statute of limitations runs out for them to sue, and you've beat the system.

everyone needs to tear up their credit cards and NOT pay poff the balance.. If you pay off the balance then you will only be contributing to the NWO and their sinister plans.. People, you dont need credit..stick it out and live within your means.. this will make their bullshit fall like a house of cards.. We need alot of people to do it because without numbers it will be futile .. jesus warned against usary also and im not even a christian..
