One of my credit cards went from 10% to 35%+ a few months ago - I noticed when my monthly payments went from $100 to $391 a month. Called customer service to ask for relief and the woman with whom I spoke treated me like I escaped from the mental ward. Might try asking for the supervisor. - Skip Daley, Boston MA

Ask them for lower rate, sorry method I say
They should be forced by the government to lower rates (19% maximum), fees, return to the 30 billing cycle, now. Give us a break. Begging for lower rate, how demeaning can you go. Write your representaive. Demand lower rate, fees, billing cycles.
The got us into this whole mess, begging is not an option! Bank are getting now, free tax dollars. Disgusting! If everyone in this country demanded these changes, we would get them. Let them beg for once
