Well, I had posted here before about my credit card didn't send me the bill every other month, what is the deal with that? They shouldn't be forgotten about this, because they never miss to send bill before. On these couple of months, they just acting so weird, sometimes I got my bill from the mail, sometimes I won't. Until I call their 1 - 800 number to find out the minimum amount and due day. From some experts and columnists comments, The Federal government just enacted the new law to reduce the transaction fees from retailer who take debit cards; and the penalty fees over the credit cards too. So, it indicates a significant amount of profit loss from those banks and financial institutions. In order to make those profits back to their pocket, they have to play some tricks on their customers. That is one of them. Last month I didn't receive my bill, and I almost forget about it due to my busy schedule and those major holidays. When I call the 1 - 800 number to find out about it, it was Dec 19, and the bill suppose due at Dec 23. I sent the check next day. They still charge me $25 penalty for it. What a trick.

OMG that get you each and every way they can. The credit cards companies don't like me because I have paid them all off. Now when I use them I pay it even before the bill comes to avoid any tricks they may have up their sleeves. I also make sure I pay it online because then they can't say they never received the payment. As far as I'm concerned the credit cards companies are as bad as the mafia and loansharks out their. NO DIFFERENCE AT ALL!

I will agree more. They simply out there to take advantage of you. Those credit cards might also issue from the banks, and those banks I had bank account with are all sucks. I am thinking to move out my money to community credit union. That might be a wise move right?

Yes I believe a credit union is much better for you. They work for the people not against them like banks and credit cards companies. Good Luck to you!
