Im going to go with "yes"... CPA will protect me far more than banks and corporations that are only concerned with profits for their shareholders.

...and Credit Unions? I assume, you along with the uninformed here believe we are out to make a profit from you too, correct?

The CPA is scary, and if you think they are going to help you, the individual you are wrong. All they will do is make for certain, you ,the consumer, will pay for all the bank's, credit union's, S&L's added expenses, hike in operating expense, and loss of income.

The funny thing is, every person on here crying about being pillaged by banks, there are other options. Credit Union's are not-for-profits, they are here to profit for you, not from you. Membership and capitol growth in the credit union industry is at an all time high. There are very, very good community banks out there, who do not try to nickel and dime, and take all they can from the consumer (there are also very bad community banks and failing banks, so you need to do your homework, imagine that the consumer actually needs to think about where to put his/her money and do some leg work).

The bottom line is, if you want to use the big boy banks, and you want to continue to get fee'd and raked on APR, thats your own decision. You have nobody but yourself to blame, there are always plenty of options. You should be the big boy and stand up and find the best place to take your business. Not cry about it, like an infant, and wait for Big Brother to come and try to fix it for you, because they can't.
