"Jay Honeck" wrote in message news:%9spd.150672$R05.66688@attbi_s53... If you have an MBNA credit card, look at your statements...if you like being screwed by the credit card company then ignore this thread and do nothing. You talk like MBNA owes you something. If you don't want to use their damned card -- don't. If MBNA charges you 20% interest -- and you're dumb enough to use their card -- who cares? It's not like there aren't 100 other credit card companies begging for your business, so either pay the bill off each month, or tell 'em to take a hike. Ok. So you also support legalized loan sharking. Fine. Jay mentioned that he hasn't payed card interest since 1985. It appears that YOU are the one who supports legalized loan sharking. You support it with cash out your pocket. But tell me, what will you do when home, auto and commercial proprerty loan companies hike their rates just because they feel like it? Even if you pay on time, every time. All they need to do is lobby hard enough to put it into law and you are totally screwed. Not likely (unless you live in Delaware or South Dakota). The legitimate loan business is pretty well regulated by feds and states. Credit cards are the dark side of the loan business. Lenders know that a legitimate, knowledgable borrower would never sign a loan contract that allowed the lender to jack up interest and/or fees at their whim. That is exactly what you do when you borrow money on a card. What then, Mr Clever Guy? Jay hasn't paid the loansharks since 1985. You're complaining that MBNA jacked up your rate (which they have every right to do under your contract). Who's the clever guy? John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) |

You support it with cash out your pocket. Actually it isn't MBNA that is getting his money...its me! Somebody has to underwrite my $250 annual rebate and it is people who carry a balance. I talked to an MBNA manager at AOPA expo and asked him how many cardholders only used to card to make purchases qualifying for the rebate and not carrying a balance. He said that it was a "pretty high percentage". The rate on the card is not just a function of MBNA's cost of funds, it is also default rate and the cost of paying the cards "perks". Mike MU-2 |
