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!
