Credit card industry needs regulation

Posted September 25, 2007 11:00 pm

I would like to know when state representatives and our Congress and Senate are going to stop the credit card crunch in this state and country.

The percentage rate should not be more than 14.99 percent anywhere in this country.

They are killing the middle class and senior citizens of this country.

The politicians are the same (GOP and Democrats). They represent their parties and not the people.

We are nothing but sheep who vote in the same people who have special interest groups and they run the country.

Bank of America should be boycotted and its cards destroyed. Three dollars for an ATM fee. What a rip-off.

The AARP credit card is no better. They claim they are for retired citizens but all they care about is money in the coffers. What you get from AARP is what you can get at discount. I will not renew my card.

The post office lost a payment from one of my friends and they moved his rate to 31 percent.
