How absurd can this get?
I watched the news in the morning(NBC today) and they were listing all these charges that will apply if you pay off your credit card, do not maintain a certain revolving balance, blah blah blah. I feel like randy, It’s over for me with these credit card companies… i refuse to be a slave any longer!!

Scoffing is acceptable – because, like I mentioned, I heard it from the radio DJs – so I don’t have any hard evidence to back it up…

This is inhuman. How can anyone charge us if we have all the payments on time? If my credit card company does this I will put a case against them. But do these companies mention these charges in their terms and conditions section? If not then I do not think they have any right to impose them.

A couple years ago, I paid my Capital One Credit card late. They socked me with a late fee and interest, which I deserved, so I paid it. Next month, they charged me interest again (I always pay the bill in full every month). I called them and they explained that the policy was that you had to pay the bill in full for 2 months before they stopped charging interest.

I explained that my previous card didn’t do that and I would have to close my account. After talking with the cancellations department they waived the charge.

The point is, that I’m not afraid to “ding” my credit score. It’s just a number. I may by a car in the next year or so and I will probably take out a loan, but I’ll make a sizable down payment (25% or more) and I will shop for rates. If I buy a house (mine is on the market), the same is true.

Unless someone can convince me that canceling a credit card is really going to cost me, I’m not going to give in to a credit card company.
