Sorry I mean't to add one other thought, if the
card holder is carrying a high balance and their interest rates increase like the banks have been raising in recent months, this could backfire on the banks themselves, I mean since the banks give a 45 notification
of the increase and the consumer is already maxed
out and can barely make the payments as it is, the increased interest rates because
of how the congress requires at least all the monthly interest and some
of the principle to be paid on the
cards, done so that consumers could reduce the amount
of time to illiminate their debts, this may spawn many
card holders whoms payments will increase much like those adjustable rate mortgages that people walked away from to go wild with their remaining balances on the
card and then default, the whole irony is that the consumer may very well use the
card thats damaging them to pay for
bankruptcy proceedings lol!
