Amen. That disgusting bankrupcy bill is a badge of shame for the GOP congress. If lenders were losing too much money due to bankruptcy, why didn't they stop issuing 35 credit cards to every man, woman, child and pet in this nation? Now, they are legally allowed to be loan sharks at usurious rates.

Thankfully, we only have one card left to pay off and we are out of the credit game. Never again will I give that industry one red cent.

Just wondering, has anyone seen the lower rates that were touted as a benefit of this law?

I agree with you... The credit card companies made bad business decisions, took risks on people that they shouldn't have and then lobby the government to give them some recourse for their lousy decisions. The new bankruptcy laws, stink. Period.

Would you be quiet?! I don't want my trip to Hawaii, paid for by my dog's generous credit lines, to be jeopardized...
