Lets see if I understand how we lose and big corporate can be irresponsible in their money practice and still show profits. The government bails them out at our expense and yet these banks can raise our interest rates on our credit cards, so as to drive us into financial ruin even if we've been good paying customers???? Wake up America, 2,000,000 Americans lost their jobs since last year, many their homes, small business going under, gas at $4 or more,food prices going up and George W doesn't think we're quite at a recession, oh and you get a whole $600 or so from the feds to appease you financially while you're loosing everything. To quote Judge Judy..."do I look like I have stupid written across my forhead?" Please, I want to hear from others who are angry and won't take any more, including the truckers who bring us everything but can't afford to stay on the roads. Somethings got to give but not at our expense!

Credit Card companies are nothing more than THIEVES and our government has allowed it and approved it. These corporate people should be in JAIL. The government should step up and put a FREEZE on these high interest rates,especially with the economy in the shape that it's in and IT'S BAD!! These big Corporate CEO's,executives,etc. put a lot of money in their BIG GREEDY POCKETS!! THEY ARE ALL THIEVES and it is at our expense. Washington Mutual is the worst and anyone who would even think to get a credit card from them,should really use their heads and think this out! THEY ARE HORRIBLE AND LIARS!! You would have to be NUTS to apply for anything with them. I know,because I worked with credit consolidation and they STINK and also CAPITAL ONE is right up there with WASHINGTON MUTUAL!! Please, think before you use either one of these for sure! Honestly, try not to even get these cards, as all of them are CROOKED and it's all about money-not trying to be compassionate when you get in situation and need help! They used to try and work with the consumer that had problems-but now are VERY VERY GREEDY and again they are all DECEPTIVE and DISHONEST!! THE BIG GUYS WILL TAKE YOUR BLOOD AND ALL THAT GOES WITH IT!! THEY ARE GREEDY,SELF CENTERED SLUGS! PLEASE THINK THESE THINGS OUT. If you OPT OUT,your interest shouldn't go up and they have to notify you first-also, you can't use the card anymore,but they can't raise those interest rates when you OPT OUT!
