Chase to risky customers: It's not you, it's me {WalletPop}

Apr 21st 2010 7:53PM Chase did this to me a little over a year ago. Just found out today Citi lowered my limit from $2,300 to $500 and I only found out by logging onto my account. Jerks....I only have a $130 balance, just to keep activity on it. Once again, never late and never over my limit. I use to keep a $1k-1,500 balance on it and pay about $200-300 a month when the payment was only $20 and only used it every other month. I paid the $1,500 balance off in February and only kept about $100 on it. I think they made good money off of me through interest, and I paid very well. Where is the risk? I think they are just incompetent.

Chase to risky customers: It's not you, it's me {WalletPop}

Apr 20th 2010 5:38PM Same thing happened to me when Chase took over. My 3k cc was cancelled and the only reason given was that I didn't fit Chase's idea of a good customer. Not that it was because of my credit report, which didn't have anything negative, nor was it based on my account history with them, as I had paid it off once a year and then slowly charged on it and never missed a payment or was over my limit. They also jacked up my rate from 11% to 33%, once again, not for anything I did. Chase is an evil, evil company, I hope they fail. AMEX did something similar 3 years ago to my cards with them, once again not because I had done anything wrong but their behavior modeling showed that people who purchased at places where I had were known to default. I protested, of course it didn't matter. Three years later for both and I never defaulted, always paid off and never over my limit....so hey geniuses, where's the risk? What default did I create, what risk am I? Where you should be targeting your cuts at is internally, at the incompetent decision makers you have on staff. They don't seem too bright, screw good customers because they haven't done anything wrong. Real smart...

Michelle Obama's Silver Belt Cinches Her Style Icon Status... Yet Again {Stylelist}

Jul 1st 2009 5:52PM I think her style sense is AWFUL! To compare her to Jackie Kennedy is a disgrace! Jackie was an icon because she took risks that were elegant and beautiful and that weren't being shown on the runways. This horrible train wreck is taking things off the runway and sample sales from a year ago that didn't sell then. She's not an icon, her fashion sense is from the reject pile!

Do Short Women Really Get Taken Less Seriously? {Lemondrop}

May 1st 2009 6:48PM I'm 5' and am in the business world. I can assure you it matters as people take me less seriously every minute of everyday. Even though I'm 30, co-workers and other superiors often think I'm only 21, simply because I'm short. I wish my parents would have let me take growth hormone pills when I was younger or had the courage to do this surgery now. It matters every second of our professional lives.

Disney's First Black Princess...Has a Prince Who's Not Black {Blackvoices Main}

Mar 29th 2009 9:50PM He looks as black as the obama...and by the way, obama isn't black he's mixed. When will you idiots wrap your mind around the fact that halle was the first mixed female to when an oscar, obama is the first mixed president...etc. This 'prince' is 'black enough.' I think its just a tone issue not a color issue. Get over yourselves!

AIG warns its workers as public furor grows {Daily Finance}

Mar 20th 2009 4:03PM They should expect it....why do they get to screw up and keep their jobs while people who did nothing wrong lose their jobs because of what AIG and Lehman's did?
Cry me a river... I don't feel the least bit sorry for any of those jerks. They deserve everything being threatened to them.

Put away the hammer: Nationalizing banks won't solve the financial crisis {Daily Finance}

Feb 20th 2009 6:11PM I wouldn't trust anyone's opinion who couldn't find a better way to begin a sentence than using 'moreover' and 'what's more.'
Alan and Ben didn't get us into this mess, Bush did by pissing away trillions of dollars. Any business student taking ECO 101 would be able to tell you that when government runs a deficit using borrowed money as Bush did, it reduces the loan money available to the private sector. Hence, the credit crisis. There were other problems such as foreclosures and such, but if Bush didn't piss away all of our money loans would still be plentiful and the recession not as bad.

Neiman Marcus 2007 Fantasy Gifts {Luxist}

Oct 5th 2007 11:46AM I receive this catalog every year. Buy something from their website and you will be on the mailing list and receive the Holiday Catalog.
It really irks me to hear people say "people who buy that are crazy, I have better things to do with "100k.' Well, you don't have that kind of money and that's why you say self-serving, degrading statements as such.
Trust me, if you had that kind of discretionary income you would have every single item in every Neiman's wish book. It does not make them crazy.

People in Darfur probably think you are crazy for wasting your money on prepackaged foods at the supermarket when you can make your own, along with clothes, transportation etc.
Think about it before you judge.
