Title: Another Strange Day: CitiBank Increased my Rate from 4.99% to 18.99% Today

I received a letter today from CitiBank about the credit card I have with them. It is a Diamond Rewards Preferred Card (the black stealthy looking one) that has a credit ceiling beyond $25K.

They have changed their rates on my account from 4.99% to 18.99%. I called their HOTLINE and they say I am an excellent customer with an excellent account with excellent credit and there is nothing they can do about it. That within the current business climate, they MUST remain competitive by extending credit to all customers.

Two months ago American Express did the same. And three months ago, Discover Card simply canceled my cards for lack of usage.

I have come to the realization that other than business purposes there is no reason for credit cards. Yet, sometimes I can not use my bank debit card at local restaurants and businesses without fees or outright decline.

I am afraid, that credit consumerism in America is all but over, even for the most responsible of us.

The banks participating in the new credit facility are: Citibank, Deutsche Bank AG - Cayman Islands Branch, Deutsche Bank AG - London Branch, HSBC Bank USA, Barclays Bank Plc, Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, BNP Paribas, Credit Suisse AG -- Cayman Islands Branch, Royal Bank of Scotland Plc and Societe Generale.

What has happened is the open ended TARP funds have permitted the banking conglomerates to stomp the earlier agreements with their small customers while investing further into HUGE industries.

And some want to talk about responsible. By removing credit or increasing rates, the federal government has buoyed HUGE business concerns while simultaneously stomped the private investor and entrepreneurs.

Yes that was the purpose behind your posts. The company I work for has a contract with Kraft. Course I'm switching departments and won't be working with Kraft stuff any more.

You are amazing in both thought and discovery. You seem to know what I do even though I act innocently while conveying a serious message.

LOL are you being sarcastic? I can't tell.

I was conveying the deepest of respect of and about your opinion. I am impressed that you seem to know me so well.

Actually, I am a mean and rotten sort of derelict incapable of reason and civilized behaviour. I have been told that I need a one inch hemp rope with thirteen knotted loops wrapped around my skinny neck from all over the Internet.

And I laff at those that think I am irresponsible or describing me as a terrorist! For they laid the groundwork of preying puppets.

Or around many others. But, it appears I am a bizarre or frightening aberration that needs strangling, irrespective of manifestation with some posters; there is good news, too: I have very thick skin.

And as always, it is a fine evening to see you in a positive mood.

You can be a dick but that comes with the...equipment.

I've had a few positive things happen over the last few days. Found out I'll be getting a new job. My mom and I belong to the same sorority. Sacramento City Counsel (sorority) puts on a Preferential Tea every year and mom and I went together this year. Had a chapter meeting tonight. I joined a new chapter this year and I am really enjoying my sisters. Older gals but much more fun and active than my last chapter. After a few years of very hard times emotionally it is a welcome relief.

Ok I know that is more than you wanted to know.

Not true at all.

Truth and personal capabilities to discuss the world around us attracts me akin to a mosquito at night with the obvious presence of luminescence. Your personal details about yourself are not even considered or for that matter nor are anyone's ... your concepts about the world around us make my day that create an understanding about the framework of discussion that others really care about learning from others irrespective of the personal perspective each and everyone of hold.

I regard you as a true friend .... not because of gender or background but that you hold or otherwise capture my attention with respect and technical capability to articulate another idea or perspective with fair language to ensure that a thoughtful process has occurred in your own way and on your own time without mimicking some sort of echo chamber created by anything I despise as unauthentic in nature.

Thanks.
