So do what is RIGHT, and close your Credit Card accounts; and pay them off as soon as possible, even if you have to take out a Consolidation Loan with your Local Friendly Credit Union....not your Corporate Greedy Big Banks.   Do the Right American Thing and boycott these same banks that have abused/used your hard earn tax dollars.  How many times can we stand to get the shaft?  Bottom Line:  No More Bailouts","pt":"Jan 26, 2010 06:17"},{"nm":"Loren Dudley","rs":"0","ms":"The section above is supposed to be a "Full List" of the current abusive tactics of credit card issuers.
