USBANK Credit Card Abuse Minneapolis Minnesota

"This company is pushing credit card abuse to its limits and shows the need for the new credit legislation which was recently signed by President Obama. This company goes out its way to accept transactions that take a credit card holder overlimit and adds multiple fees of $39 to the account. [So you are blaming the credit card company when you charge more than your limit?!?!?! FYI, if you charge enough to be within a few dollars of your credit limit, then interest hits, you are going to go over. It is your responsibility to monitor this.] In addition they are trying to double my interest rate [when you repeatedly go over your limit, or have late payments, your interest rate will default. This is standard, and is listed in the terms and conditions you agreed to when you got the card.]. I also believe this company manipulated my regular interest rate to create an overlimit situation. [how?]

- And just how do they go out of their way? I guess you have a rep from US Bank following you every day and when ever you make a purchase they hold a gun to your head forcing you to use their card right?

The only reform of the fees is if the consumer agrees to a fixed credit limit, in that case the credit card issuer can not assess an over the limit fees. But this also means that if you attempt to make a purchase which puts you over the limit it will be declined. So just hope that you keep an eye on your balance, which if you did this you wouldn't be attempting to go over you limit in the first place. Which is the main reason this is unneeded if a person is RESPONSIBLE for their own accounts, so this is "rewarding" the IRRESPONSIBLE. Oh and if you think this means you can give yourself a credit limit of $5,000 that the banks says can only be $500..think again. You will only be able to go DOWN. One other item, if this legislation is really "pro-consumer", why did they delay it until July 2010.

As for the BBB they are a company that is Pro-Business and you can expect about as much help from them as you can from this new legislation.
