Hate your Credit Card Bills? MAXED OUT – NOW ON DVD
by admin on Apr.08, 2010, under Uncategorized
Maxed Out takes viewers on a journey deep inside the American style of debt, where things seem fine as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. With coverage that spans from small American towns all the way to the White House, the film shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of "preferred customer" and tells us why the poor are getting poorer while the rich keep getting richer. Hilarious, shocking and incisive, Maxed Out paints a picture of a national nightmare which is all too real for most of us. Great for college students.

If a majority of Americans REFUSED to pay their credit card bills They could soon bring Wall St and the US Govt to their knees and make them do as that majority wants, from stopping international wars to lowering credit card interest rates to the interest banks pay on savings accounts i.e 1 to 2 percent !!!

Yes, the credit …
Yes, the credit card companies are crooked, but personal responsibility needs to be addressed. People go out and buy new cars rather than used ones and use plastic to pay for everything from gas to groceries. That’s the type of behavior that causes problems. During the film, Bush said that people had been abusing the bankruptcy provision. That’s absolutely true. If you borrow money, you should pay it back. Period. The debt collector boys who used sports and pirate analogies were total d-bags.

What part of “THEY …
What part of “THEY CHANGED THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT” do you not understand? You’re ignoring the fact that the contract I originally entered into was not honored. In any other industry they would be sued for breach of contract. It’s usury, it’s loansharking, it’s bad business, it’s bad for everyone and I don’t give a about your “free market” blatherings, we all know the game is rigged, but you keep defending the robber barons.
I have closed my acct with B of A and I will never go back.

what if one of your relatives die and the funeral costs are $15.000 and you don’t have the money, why the banks don’t lent you the money with a fix rate with avery low interes 5% to pay for the funeral. but instead they give you a revolving credit card with 29% interest that you are going to pay for the rest of your life.
what are your options?

Debt isnt a right …
Debt isnt a right or a priviledge. it is a contractual agreement. It you dont like the terms of the agreement then do not agree. Why do all you nanny state people think everything should be given to you. Get a job , earn money and put that money in the bank. Then when you want something you pay for it with your money. Pretty basic.

It is a free market …
It is a free market. They can charge 100% if they want. If you dont like it then dont use their line of credit. You rate got jacked up? Then cancel and open with another that will offer a more suitable rate. If still no luck then maybe try the option of not buying you cannot afford.

Mastinox, credit …
Mastinox, credit companies routinely change the terms of the debt long after the original borrowing was done. I have a 785 credit score and perfect payment history for the last 5 years. B of A (who I’ve had an acct with for only the last 2 years) jacked my interest rate from 9.9 to 14.9 with no reason other than “market conditions”. They are theiving, usurious MFs who are bleeding working people dry.
You are either clueless about the reality of the situation or a paid shill.

Yes it sucks but you agree to the terms of the contract. I am debt free myself. If you cant handle the basic reponsibility of credit then you are a fool and deserve what you get. It amazes me how many american’s blame someone else for their own mistakes.

It comes from the word maximum. It means that one has spent the maximum amount of credit given by a bank or credit card company, usually beyond their means to pay back.

Watch out for …
Watch out for marriage fraud!
-Be careful when marrying someone that is an illegal immigrant. It can be difficult to know if they are marrying for a love or a green card.
-Never co-sign a credit card/car with a lover or spouse.
-Avoid mixing any fiances or legal issues together.
Consider yourself warned!
