Broke enough to cry.
So I knew it was too good to be true. Things have been good so far this year, especially financially. I was getting money saved, my 401(k) swelled as the market rocketed out of orbit, credit cards are almost paid off, hell, I even had disposable income for the first time in my life! Seriously. Money to do whatever i wanted with every month. Then my computer got zapped and fried. Then I hit a dog and f***ed up my car.
And grrr, one of my credit card companies sent me a notice today that they had just decided to jack my rate up. I went from a 14.9% APR to a 28.99% APR. I have never missed a payment, always pay double or more of the minimum payment, never been late, never gone over limit. And ouch. I mean I don't carry that large of a balance but ouch. We're talking another twenty-or-more bucks a month in interest payments alone. On one fricking card which I am responsible with. As I was wrapping up my conversation with "Brad" a fun supervisor at their call center, he said, "well we appreciate your business and hope we've provided you with quality customer service." I LOLed (literally, there's something new) and told him, no he hadn't and that I would be closing my account.
GRRRR. ***pullshairout***
