What do you think of this? Actual MC sent to me; never applied.

[caledesi]

About a week ago, I got an RBB MasterCard w/ a credit line of $8,000. I am very confused about this bec:

Never applied for this card
My credit is not good since I got seriously ill in 2003

Now you can "Book me a 'guilt trip' lst class bec I used the card for some prescriptions.

Has this ever happened to anyone?

BTW, we are not talking about one of those plastic CCs they send you where you have to fill out application. This card had the "Activation Strip" on it. Called and activated it. Crucify me.

[ornotna]

1. Cool for you

Just use it wisely. ;)

[caledesi]

3. I will wisely call you from Paris....LOL! nt

[RobertSeattle]

2. Just change the CC address to...

The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20500

What's another $8000 when Bush is creating a deficit to to the tune of about 1 Billion a day?

4. That happened to me in Grad School in '84 or so.

I told my dad about it and he told me to burn it. He is a wise man.....


NEVER, EVER use 'credit cards' use the Visa/Mastercard as 'charge cards', pay the TOTAL at the end of each moth, and you will have no problems.

[mermaid]

11. Pay The Total??

You know what credit card companies actually CALL people who pay their balances every month??

They call them DEADBEATS. I shit you not! These companies are fucking vultures! They do not want someone who pays their balance every month, because they don't make enough money on that...prime example of rich cocksuckers hoisting themselves up on the backs of hard-working DECENT Americans...and taking advantage of the fact that times are what they are.

These bastards at the card companies will not be happy until they create a PERMANENT underclass of serfs...indentured servants...they will make debt survivable even after DEATH...they will swoop down and grab the entire estate...and if that don't pay off the bill, they will work hard to hang the albatross around the necks of the kids of the deceased...trying to force THEM to assume responsibility for the debt...ad nauseam!

They won't be happy until a debt survives 200 years and six generations! Christ...what an evil bunch of cocksucking vultures!!

Oh, but all these "christian" Republicans are behind it...what about the part of the bible that FORBIDS the practice of loaning money for INTEREST?? Hmmmmm...??? don't wanna talk about THAT passage of the bible, do ya???

Bastards... :nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

[alittlelark]

12. Oh, yes, I know!!!

'Discover" had a 1.5% cashback about 8 years ago...... we are one of the resons they stopped it. We put ALL transactions on the card, and earned $1,300 one of the 4 years we had it.

They stopped that practice. SAD.


I REFUSE debt. I have never been forced into it.

Those that have have my deepest sympathies (unless they were 'shopping').

[mermaid]

14. I Have But One Credit Card

and it's the only one I want. I have a nice, sustainable $600 limit, which is good enough for my needs for emergency usage. And that's it.

I have my dog's Veterinary Insurance, and my monthly Internet Service direct-billed to the card, to keep it active, and pay off that amount each month.

I wouldn't even have that stuff put onto the card, but I need to make sure the card stays active in the event I ever truly NEED the card. no irresponsible shopping for me.

Be goddamned if I will be an indentured servant to these cocksuckers!

They will not force ME into a permanent underclass! Over my dead fucking body! Okay, so maybe I won't have all the newest latest greatest toys with all the bells and whistles. Well, tough shit. So let everyone else HAVE all that cool shit...and the debt up to their eyeballs that goes with it. I'll be happy with my old stuff, thank you very much.

[alittlelark]

16. You 'get it' and are wise

NO ONE needs the latest and greatest (unless you are in the high-tech matrix..... screwy stuff there), and those that do are generally well educated and propagating the 'status quo'. Out here most are immigrants (Asian....), they play into the propaganda. Those that think need to swallow the pill and escape the consumerism/propaganda MATRIX.

[Kire]

13. what if I never have kids?

Who do they go after then?

[mermaid]

15. Your Brothers or Sisters,Aunts, Uncles, Cousins,Third Cousins Once Removed

They don't give a shit. They will find SOME way to stick SOMEONE with the goddamn bill.

And, of course, they will make sure to zap up your entire estate, so that no one you name in your will gets jack shit.

In fact, maybe that is who they will go after...after they zap the entire estate...they figure out how much you were going to give to each named person, as a percentage of your net worth...and then try to assign debt in that percentage onto those people.

So, if you have someone you REALLY fucking hate...

Go on a shopping spree, just before you die, and name that person as your sole heir! :P

Oh, and don't forget to bash the hell out of whatever you buy, so that it is useless, worthless junk...and then the person you hate gets saddled with a shitpile of bills from you...

Merry Christmas, you Republican bastard...join us in the hell of permanent indentured servitude!!

Am I evil or what???

Would serve the bastards right, though...to get hoisted up on their own fucking petard!

[Lautremont]

5. Wouldn't that be great if you got some rich Republican fucker's card

by mistake? I would expect rounds of brie to be sent to all 65,000 of us, please.

[mermaid]

6. Now, Now....

While it would be nice to stick it to the fat-cat sons-a-bitches who hoist themselves up on our backs, and live off the fat of the land, and make their way off everyone else's sweat, toil and struggle...I just have to say...
A part of me would say...man, couldn't happen to a more deserving cocksucking sonofabitch!
On the other hand...it wouldn't be so good if someone ELSE got ahold of a card that was meant for YOU...and racked it up there. So, much as that small, mean part of me would love nothing more than to stick it to some sonofabitch who probably never put in an honest day's work in his fucking life...yet makes more in a year than most of us will make in our entire miserable lives...I can't bring myself to wish evil on anyone...not even a deserving rich little prick. Karma, you know??
So, think carefully. While there is that small, mean part of me...and I understand it well...careful what kind of karma you send out.

[Lautremont]

8. Well, I did counsel philanthropy with it,

but I hear you.

[caledesi]

10. Brie to everyone. I never thought of the rich repug angle. You

might be right, bec my full name is not that unusual.\

OMG! This is getting interesting.

[Mnemosyne]

7. Be EXTREMELY careful.

It may be one of those cards that if you are late even on an electric bill, the interest rate will jump to some criminal amount like 23.99 or higher. It happened to a desperate friend of mine and she was screwed, still paying it off after several years and 85% of the payment is interest. She needed to feed her kids due to low wages.

Please be careful.

[mermaid]

9. Yes!! These Fucking Card Companies Are Vultures!!

I swear...my credit sucks the big donkey dick...and I get 6 to 8 offers a week for criminally high interest rate cards...and every week, I rip every offer I get into bitty pieces before throwing them away, just so that someone else can't go and apply under my name and THEIR address...and get a card in my name with a criminal rate of interest. Isn't there ANY way to stop these bastards from soliciting you?? can't we pass some kind of no-solicitation law that says we have the right to not have to go thru this shit every goddam week!?!?!

I mean, if they are gonna offer me a card with reasonable terms, that is one thing. but at the criminal rates they offer me...they can take their card and shove it right up their bippy!!

In light of this goddam bankruptcy bill that they seem determined to cram down our throats...

How much fucking SENSE does it make...to penalize people who are already victimized by the system of downward pressure on wages...who already cannot afford shit...and then penalize them by making it even MORE impossible for them to afford anything...and then take away the one and only safety net they had...fucking bankruptcy!

I swear to God...what do these motherfuckers want, our goddamn blood and our first-born children??

You wait and see...that'll be the next step...they will make it so that even DEATH doesn't wipe out a debt, and they will swoop in on the estate, suck all THAT up...and then make the heirs responsible for the remainder of the debt!

I swear they are trying to make a permanent underclass in this society, and somebody better fucking stop them before it is too goddamn late!!
