wow. WOW.
Pay close attention to those credit cards, kiddies, because the companies are slashing and burning and taking no hostages.
I'm sitting here on the computer and suddenly remembered I needed to pay my credit card bill. I've had this card for a couple of years now and have never missed a payment. I head on over there, and discover that 1. my due date was 7/17 and 2. at the stroke of midnight they charged me a $39.00 late fee.
Un. Fucking. Believable. I'll probably say something, but who knows if it will do anything.
So consider this a PSA to mind those due dates, because there is NO such thing as grace periods anymore.
(And P.S. Read "The Corporation" to discover how business like these are simultaneously destroying and taking over our country, then take a moment to think about how our elected representatives spend most of their time making sure these companies make as much money off of us as possible. The end.)
