[Roadsters] OT: from Solex carbs to collapse of trucking, no food, and bank credit tomfoolery

[Pete Peters]

Yup, me, too. Paying credit card finance charges....FAIL!!! 

I think some college students did an analysis many years ago that all credit card companies would be out of business if everyone paid their full balance due every month for six months or something. It was definitely less than a year.

I have recently seen credit card companies lower your credit limit below what 
you currently have on your card, make a small note on your statement and 
online, and then charge you a fee for charging over your limit. Nice, huh. 



I also got the same letter raising my rate on both of my credit cards (BOA and 
Crapital One). fortunately, I never carry a balance, so they have never 
earned a penny from me. 



Some people are really going to get screwed!
