Re: Should Be Illegal

I hope you like reading EULA before installing programs or games.

The point of technical writing is to be informative, concise and grab audience (customer) attention. If a cell phone company can do this when signing two year contract about any hidden charges, bank could do as well. One style of writing and jargon do not fit all. The point of these "contracts" is to delude customer, not inform them in clear, informative and explicit manner.

Regular customers should not be expected to be readers on business-to-business level when it's business-to-person.

Youre either delusional about banks business ethics or a simply a troll having fun playing dad's "role".

"INTEREST FREE FOR 6 MONTHS" - in big print. "Balance must be paid in full in promotional period or interest will incur from date of purchase" is hardly in small print and in addition it's * out on the front as well. The sales associate isn't the banker. They're simply asking you if you wanted to open a charge card to buy those tires that you were too weak to resist their sales pitch.

Just wow - seriously so many things wrong with your approach on things. I do feel sorry for you and those like you who don't take the time to educate yourself and rely solely on everyone else to pat your bottom. The most ironic thing is that it seems this kind of thing follows you through out life, yet you continue not to learn from YOUR mistakes. I'm sure you could occupy Firestone if you're dissatisfied.

INTEREST FREE FOR 6 MONTHS

Tere morele...

Except you don't get part that already paid off portion of balance charged on purchase during this promo period should not incur interest after promotional period expires. That capital letter wording you spelled out does not mention anything.

Second emergency planning is not the same as long term planned purchase u gave a lot of examples on such as cell phone purchase on 2 year contract. Long term planning leaves a lot more room for preparedness.

Third not all banks are the same and cut through transparent especially some unknown 3rd party shady small banks for retailers. It's no surprise retail cc get the worst rap, their interest is typically higher than regular bank cc and their terms less favorable to consumers.

Tell me how fair it is to get charged all 24% apr cumulative daily interest on $400 when u paid on time within promotional window period $399.99?

Even if it's disclosed in tiny print on back statement on your first bill, how do u justify this practice fair for consumers? How about blind disabled customers?

Maybe a smart old Russian soviet computer will explain this perfectly reasonable "logic"?

Nothing what u said in defense for Firestone makes sense, may in theory but does not make sense in practice.
