Attention Walmart Shoppers: No Credit for You

Back to blog

Screw the Credit Check

There are so many pay as you go credit cards that allow you to manage your money that you don't even need to worry about the big wigs such as Bank of America or Chase. I prefer the pay as you go credit cards because A. there isn't any credit check, B. I can never go overlimit, and C. It has all the benefits of a credit card without a million fees. 1984--I'm not surprised we have made it that point either. It was coming. I'll let the president know how mean the credit companies are, he'll show them, lol.

WAKE UP

Where does ANY get a say in where I shop and what I use to pay for it? If you want my opinnion and must people don't, this where all our problems began. Credit card Co.,banks who got to big for themselves and they want to punish us, the people who offered them business? They didn't offer you buisness, you offered it to them. I say let the big banks and credit card co. fall flat on their ASS, because that's where they deserve to be. If my money is not good enough reguardless of where I shop and how I pay for it, then I dont want you. The more who comply with this BS, the more the banks and credit card co. control you and they WILL end up with the final say on what YOU can do. People wake the hell up, this AMERICA, dont let them do this.

You're shocked by this?

Welcome to the New World Order.

They know everything, and will use it against you.

Spread the word, folks - before it's too late.

Credit Card answer #2

I do not believe you will not be allowed to pay more than the minimum allowed. You owe $100; min payment is $16.00; you send check for $100 and you get a check back from your card company for $84? How could that work?

Big Brother never dreamed of the kind of surveillance we are subject to today.

The sheeple don't really care.

OK the post from "Credit card": That part about not being able to pay off more than the minimum amount on your WaMu card is most DEFINITELY Orwellian. Wow! Those bastards! Alan Fishman should sleep with his namesake.. the fishes. Ha! He's the on who got 15 mil. after 3 weeks work & sold WaMu out for pennies on the share to Morgan Stanley (i.e. JP Morgan, porcine greedy corporation extraordinaire).

I just received a notice from chase-WAMU that you will not be allowed to pay more than the minimum amount. This will maximize their profit.

Basics

The fact that you even have such things as a credit report and credit score that you did not sign in writing as asking for is a sign corporations took over your country.

As for where you work and shop being corporate "property" they own as knowledge about you---same thing.

You have Obama and Dems. Now scream until YOU take YOUR country back.
