From my friend Jo-D at Somesuch:
Chase Credit Card sucks much ass. They couldn’t even name the credit report that caused my APR to jump from 7.99% to 28.99% (yes, credit report, not my Chase credit history).
My response to Jo-D:
They’re doing it to everybody. Mine went from 7.99% to 23.99% with no warning, no notice, no word as to why.
My move?
Pay that sucker off and close it. Fuck y’all.
Satisfied customer since 1997 my ass.
Ho damn ho.
When I called, the CSR immediately escalated my call to a supervisor who offered to match the lowest card rate I currently have: 7.99% fixed for life. No, thanks. Then she offered to increase my credit limit. No, thanks.
That felt good.
I encourage everyone to say goodbye to a creditor. It’s fun.
I just had it out with MBNA over their outrageous 26.99% rate they had jacked me up to…uh don’t think so. I managed to get it down to 16%
I had the same problem with MBNA the year before. I paid it off using my Citi and Chase cards combined. I’ll never go back to MBNA. This time I paid off Chase with Citi (Thank you, Citi!). My current credit balance is under $10k, which is the lowest it’s been in years. I’m pretty excited about it, so I guess Chase and MBNA being a bunch of fuckwads is a pretty good thing for me.I’ll never go back to Chase, either. They can go to hell and die.
