[quote:Anonymous Coward 276706:MV83MTUyNzdfMTA5NjQ2MDdfNDBFMjAyMkE=] [quote:tomorrow] If I want to have a credit card, I will. It is none of your business. That stupid and short sighted response does not address the fact that these companies are predators. They can chew up and spit out the slugs, but I am not one and do not deserve it. [/quote] It is exactly because you all went along with this system that you are in this mess today. You act as if this whole thing was forced upon you to start with. If you get in with the wrong crowd then you must not complain when you end up in trouble. Take this example: When likes of Walmart came along everyone abbandoned the small shop keeper and shopped in Walmart because they were a few cents cheaper. Then the small guy went out of business. Within 2 years Walmart will be doing a similar thing as the credit card company is doing now. Will you then moan and groan about what Walmart should do? Who is to blame in all this saga? If majority of us stopped using credit cards and took in a little bit of pressure and still stood by it, everything will change. We will go back to the natural life we had before these sharks came along. You really act as if you and likes of you are not responsible for the country you live in. [/quote]

Ok, this crosses the line! If you shop where other people do, and THEY don't pay their bills, YOUR credit is affected!

"Other customers who have used their card at establishments where you recently shopped have a poor repayment history with American Express."
This is wrong and offensive on so many levels.
