At least, they can't do that with the old debts. I also watched that Suze Ozman's show. She said that next to the mortgage crisis, it will be the credit card crisis. This is when the credit card companies cut the credit limit, raise the rate or expect the debts to be paid back within 5 years, for instance. Due to the economic hardships, many people have been depending their life on credit cards. Suze also urged these credit card companies not to do the above things because our economy would be in a much deeper hole.Cat-Lehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797690030141882033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228175478313254728.post-47375149842602946432009-02-01T08:28:00.000-05:002009-02-01T08:28:00.000-05:00Citi Card explaning it to me wasn't the problem--I...Citi Card explaning it to me wasn't the problem--I knew the rate hike was coming. The specifically said that they are raising the rates on everyone due to economic hardships. I'm just saying it's a bunch of bullshit because the got like $300 BILLION dollars from the goverment....what the heck are they doing with that money?!<BR/><BR/>I'm actually lucky, I guess. My rate just went up to 14.99%...but I was reading complaints on the internet and some people's shot up as high as 29.99% which is absoluetely outrageous!!! If my rate was that high, I'd probably be paying $500 a month!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03989242814411147407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-228175478313254728.post-63238990155885067542009-01-31T22:46:00.000-05:002009-01-31T22:46:00.000-05:00I am glad everything in your life is getting into ...I am glad everything in your life is getting into order. Those credit card companies are really bad at explaining to people why their rate is so high. Sometimes, the rate could go up to 30ish percents. Also, I cannot believe that those Citi group people plan to buy the $50 million jet using the bailout money. <BR/><BR/>It's okay if you borrow money from your love ones to get through the hard time as long as you will pay them back. I borrowed my sister and her husband a large sum amount of money, and I just finished paying them back this month. I have to start saving now. <BR/><BR/>I am glad the IKEA shelves worked out well.<BR/><BR/>:DCat-Lehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00797690030141882033noreply@blogger.com
