the blatent point is that THEY arbitrarily raise their rates even to the best of customers....plain simple abuse to their cardholders.

exactly. the credit card companies are aiming for a certain profit, and they will get it regardless of what rules the oh so knowledgable congress puts in place. people seem to forget that people who don't pay their bills, are late, or declare bankruptcy are essentially buying things and then not paying for them. credit card companies have to charge high fees, etc, to pay for their customers' mistakes. how do i solve that problem? haven't had a CC in years, and won't have one. that's why you don't see me complaining about high fees or interest rates. you can decide for yourself if you want to deal with the bs involved with having ready plastic in your pocket.

That's right. Some are trying to screw their customers one last time before the law prohibits them from doing it. It's a good law, not protective enough, but about darn time.

I had a rate increase notification on two of the three cards I have. I called to negotiate. They wouldn't. I fired one of them. You can, too. Read the fine print, for some, if you carry a balance you can decline the rate increase (freeze, end) the card, freezing the outstanding balance at the current rate.
