Credit card interest up 23%... fuck!

So the credit card my wife used to charge most of her wedding expenses, travel expenses, moving expensts, etc just raised our APR from 5% to fucking 28%!!!! We are two working class people, paying back larger sums than we need in order to get that card taken care of as quickly as possible, but now fucking CHASE has decided to screw us over. We havent charged anything to the card in over 9 months, because we make enough money to pay all our expenses from the bank, and have enough left to make decent payments on the cards we have out. All of our payments have been on time, but because of our "credit score" some computer has decided that they need to rape us extra special.
Now we are pretty much screwed. If you have a low-intereste CHASE credit card I'd recommend paying it off and cancelling it before they fuck you over, too. When my wife spoke to a service person, his recommendation was to pay it off right away and cancel the card. You know the corporate machine doesn't give a fuck about you when their peons are telling you to get out while you still can.....
Because we can't afford to pay 28% on this maxed-out card (as I said, MAJOR, life-altering expenses last summer), I t hink our only choice will be to get a loan from our bank to pay that card off and then be in debt to our local bank, as opposed to some huge credit monster.
Dump your chase cards immediately. It's only a matter of time.
So again.... fuck CHASE. Get rid of them sooner rather than later.

gotta agree
credit cards are pretty well legal extortion....unless you have the money to use them proper. IE pay the full balance every month

You know there aint no such thing as left over crack!"

I like my credit card, it is a CITI dividend credit card which gives me cash back on everything I buy. I currently have 60 dollars cash back on my account which I will withdraw when I reach 100 or 200.
