It took me years to pay off my stupid post-college debt and I know that I wound up paying in interest more than I even owed initially. Frustrating. Those guys seriously suck.

As for paying on time, yes, people should, but the fees are still outrageous. The most disturbing aspect about these solicitations is that anyone can fill these applications out and then charge up a storm- and YOU, as the victim of identity theft will be held responsible to clean up the mess.

I keep getting solicitations despite the fact that my credit is sucking these days due to the predatory terms in the fine print, which of course I did read (not!). thanks for posting that opt-out number, I've been meaning to make that call for a while now. hey, inspired by you and other bloggers, I've entered the fray with my own contribution- musings of a muso, check it out. I decided I'd call it "Resilient Brazilian", since that's what I've been, as a freelancer, since as far back as I can remember. Plus, it sounds like a cool, nerdy name for a band (maybe my next mutation on that title). give ‘em hell Greg!
