a 10.95 charge to some ins comp... woah woah ...woah... i dont have insurance...let alone, ever had anything thru my CC...so why the fuck am i getting charge for said BS... well with a simple search of the charge address i get this 800-572-5848 / 8005725848 pretty much its some type of scam that they call you for insurance...heres the kicker...i never got said call...so wtf right...apperantly ive been getting charged for this BS since sep 08... for the mathematically challenge...as of Feb 2010 (latest charge) ive committed 180+ dollars to this shit...not to mention the intrest that accumulatted do to charge which is nothing, but combining with my already previous debt, well you get the idea... i already called said rep to let them know to cancel it... they can only refund me this months charges...but not the rest...to get the rest i have to mail in a letter to corperate office...so fucking whack.. will i do it...fuck yes...thats my money they stole... i do suggest check ur CC statements...ive been blindly paying large amounts over the last year+ just tryint ot pay this specific card off...hence why i never noticed it... utter BS... /rant... and be4 anyone tries to get smart with me, yes mah bad i didnt review my shit...but really is that an excuse for someone to stick there hand in my already depleted cookie jar? nope...

Yeah I learned this too. People somehow get your CC info and will charge you little amounts that you won't notice. I got charged $30 from some 1800 number that didn't work.
Always keep on top of your CC statements. I feel ya man, you got robbed pretty good though EDIT with that being said, look wtf just popped up on my credit card Transaction Date: February 25, 2010 Transaction Description: INTEREST CHARGE:PURCHASES Charge: $9.52 Category: Other Merchant Information: INTEREST CHARGE: PURCHASES Is this what popped up on yours???? |

Ahhh. I havent used a single Credit Card in 14months, 12days and 2hrs
Wife and I made a pact end of '08. Had a cutting party and closed all of the accounts. I live by the Debit Card and watch that mofo like a fucking hawk! Even have a side Checking/Debit account for online purchases & paypal, just to make sure there is no risk from these shady motherfuckers out there. |

Glad I don't have one. I don't plan on getting one until I'm financially stable... Which will be never.

The other 2 pay for the one you actually use. You'll get stuck eventually but it will be one hell of a year. Make sure one's called Platinum or something so when the waiter at Olive Garden give's you the bill the broad you're with knows you're a big deal.

My debt is only between 2 cards, and one card was opened through my bank. I closed the all but one so I only use my debit card when I need something, the credit card through the bank is only open for emergencies.

for those with capital one, i too have that interest charge.
called them up and asked if this was really an interest charge from capital one. the lady over the phone assured me it was. she also said they have some new way or new writing about periodic interest charges. so it may be safe to say, it was an interest charge. the charge was made earlier this february. |

and this is where people most commonly fail with credit cards. why would you ever buy something on a CC that you didn't already have the money for? i put shit on my CC that i already have money set aside to pay off. it's a good way to build credit. you should never be in debt for common shit like TV's and stereo's that you never should have purchased if you didn't already have the funding for it in the first place. Only major debts that people should incur are home loans, auto loans, or even student loans. A lot of people try to use CC's like they are free money or some shit and it ends up biting them in the ass.

I believe it is a capital one thing because I got this on my bill also. I need to finish paying off this card because Capital One is the devil

Take for instance. Cars. Everyone's got one pretty much. If you save up 25k, then walk into a dealership. You're going to see salesmen that can't help you. Want to talk financing instead of price. Some even talk about "What kind of payment do you want?" instead of what kind of car do you want. Nothing looks to be worth your nest egg. You're 3x as careful with the car once you own it. It's seriously a huge issue when you've actually got to buy the car. Car payments suk. Get rid of them. School Loans. I'm working full time while putting myself through nursing school. When I pay tuition. It comes out of my pocket. I've got to save up for it. I study because I can't afford to fail. If it's your money. You're committed. If it's someone elses then you slack off. At UNF, a soild 25% of the kids don't need to be there. They arn't committed and they're either fafsa'd or loaning. They have zero work ethic and won't suceed in work or college. It's just a waste of tax payer money. There's nothing wrong with graduating highschool and working for 5 years then deciding to goto college. Community Colleges get trashed way to much. They have some of the best teachers around here. Go there figure out what you want, get an AA then goto a 4 year school. Best value per dollar. Home loans. It seems crazy but home loans can be almost optional. The best financial advice I can give is walk in with 20%. If you've got 20% then you're probably not going to be "underwater" in 3 years. You're definitely committed. And get a 15 year loan. NO 30 YEAR LOANS!. If you can't afford a 15. You can't afford the house. Everyone always says. "Buy as much house as you can". They left "afford" off the end of that. Mortgage payments are the main bit of your monthly overhead. The less overhead you have in life, the less stressed you will be. In January of '08 we were at about $3000/month overhead. That was car payments, credit card bills, loans, 1st and 2nd mortgage, cable, elec water etc. This month we have $1423/month overhead. 1st mortgage at 5% fix @15. zero CC's. elec, water and interweb. Trust me if you save $1600 a month. Your life will be soooo much easier. It's like you can't help but money just stacks up in your bank account. Just don't borrow money. Borrowing is the commitment of future earnings. Think of a loan as getting your paycheck garnished. That's what it is. In this process, Chase, BoA, and Wamu have done there best to prevent me from paying things off. They intentionally don't return phone calls/ drop you during transfers/ etc to keep you as frustrated as possible. Their goal is to financially enslave you. Avoid them as much as possible.

Anyone who wants unsecured debt should just a prosper loan at like 8% or whatever.
I still have a tiny bit of CC debt that I'll be paying off when I get my tax refund. EDIT: Yeah, and fuck car payments, I haven't had one in like four years.
