Re: Why Is This Bad?

I believe we fully understand you read everything before applying your John Hancock and that's great, but the simple truth is that most don't.
True, but as another poster pointed out, if someone is willing to commit a ton of money to a long term financial obligation without reading exactly to what they are agreeing, then there is really no way you can fault the contract for that.
said by pistachionut:

Anything that assists the consumer in understanding what the heck they're signing/agreeing to is a bonus in my eyes, and I cant understand your vehement support of how the system currently works. As it stands, it is broken, and severely favors the provider while penalizing the consumer. You can throw more flawed logic at this if you want, but that's where it stands.
Ok maybe I am missing something here, but why on earth would anyone sign up for service that they apparently do not like, can't use the way they need to, think is overpriced, and charges them fees that they don't like? There is no logic in that at all.

The thing you don't understand about contract law is that there are situations that would make the contracts unenforceable such as when there is Undue Influence, Duress, Lack of Informed Consent, Mistakes, or Misrepresentation. And really, we all should have attorneys look at these contracts for service because they're so complicated. It's great that you "get it" even though you're not an attorney though.

Shrug. I guess I am just one of those weirdos who doesn't sign a contract and then look at ways to invalidate it after the fact.

For something major like a mortgage, that is an excellent idea.
