Dear Chase Bank:
I know things haven’t been right with us, especially after I wrote the blog post claiming I was being raped by credit card. Our relationship has resembled a crappy high school relationship in a lot of ways. You don’t like listening so I doubt you’ll get it. Well, after a long, more stressful [...]
I’m considering the “Don’t Spend for a Month Challenge”, which means that for exactly one month I won’t spend any money on anything except of course the necessary bills.
Some people make everything from scratch, from food to detergent and use the car only when they need to go to work, etc. The weird thing is, [...]
Well, thanks to Funny about Money, My Deadbeat Television was not only included in The Carnival of Money Stories, but I may also have my solution from the comment he/she left, suggesting a digital box.
I wasn’t quite sure what was meant by a digital box, but I believe it’s easiest to explain it as the [...]
In frantically trying to clean up my credit, pay janky credit card bills, and keep medical bills out of collections, I’ve realized that I’ve put off other things that matter just as much, if not more. Things like my utilities and food – meaning not enough money for a full grocery bill in the budget, [...]
I called my satellite TV company to ask why my bill was so much and learned a couple things. 1. It’s always been that much, didn’t realize it because I missed a month, and 2. My contract is up. I’m free to cancel.
I switched from cable because I thought the satellite offer was [...]
Out of curiosity I googled Chase Credit Card and 28% interest and came across a lot of sites with a lot of comments and stories from people who have experienced the same situation as I have.
I started reading through the complaints here but stopped at the second page as it was all sounding exactly the [...]
After reading this post at askmrcreditcard.com, I was expecting Chase to cancel the cards with the 28% (or so) interest rate.
Here are their reasons for canceling the cards (2 credit cards/2 letters):
Total available credit on bankcards is too low. (Really? They were fine before Chase dropped my credit limit.)
One or more accounts have high [...]
Read this article today and have to admit that I’m a little jealous.
It was the article about the guy that was billed 23 quadrillion dollars on his credit card for a pack of cigarettes. I don’t even know why this is newsworthy since it’s obvious that he wasn’t going to be held responsible for 23 [...]
Only gold diggers look at a guy’s finances before dating or marrying him, right? Not always. Since it’s been proven that the main reason for arguments and divorce is financial, I’d say it’s a good thing to consider.
So what happens when you’re dating someone with bad credit? Is it wrong to think that all of [...]
Okay, so maybe that’s too harsh, but one of the definitions of rape, according to dictionary.com is “to seize, take, or carry off by force.”
I am in no way attempting to minimize the more widely used form of the word, but by this definition, Chase Bank is definitely raping me with their interest rates and [...]
