I have two credit cards. One, which shall remain nameless, decided several months ago to cut my limit by three thousand dollars, to within $200 of my limit. They also raised the interest rate to 25% and also raised by monthly payment. I let that one go. My ex-girlfriend, who makes $120,000 a year, got the same treatment from the same company. She complained, and they told her, "too bad."
Then, recently, of course, banks got the bailout. One of them was the bank issuing my credit card, which also used the bailout money to give the executives boneses.
I stopped paying my bill and told them it had already been paid through my tax money, and through everyone else's, and also by their kids, and their grandkids, and they would never see a cent from me again.
Apparently I gave them my cell phone number (which I don't remember and I find hard to believe, because I give that number to no one, except maybe six people) but the credit card company has been calling me ten or twelve times a day. I Googled the number and found this has been happening to many people.
I never answer the number, so today, apparently out of frustration, I received a message on my phone (same number) that read, "You are a fucking slut and you fuck."
Now most definitely they will never get a cent, never, ever, never.
