Sorry to hear about your sister, CC. This situation is something we can actually agree on though, because I have encountered a similar situation with my dying friend. Everyone thought he was well off, doing just fine, but since we had to take care of everything for him during his month in hospital, we recently found that he, just like your sister, was buried in credit card debt to about 8 different cards = 180K. He had the assets to cover it, and recently sold his taxi plate and retired all the debt, and had a little left over to put in the bank, but it was a massive shock to us to find out that he was so far in debt.As executor I get to clean up the mess and she was BURIED in credit card debt. I couldn't believe it...and they kept approving her for new cards and raising her limits. I'm talking like 80K...Last year she called all of them and told them she was dying of cancer and wanted to work out a rate reduction and settlement. The ALL told her they weren't interested and jacked her rate to the legal max, like 30%. She kept paying the minimum balances on time and they kept raising her limits and she kept using them. She didn't work for over a year and would literally get cash out of one card to pay the minimum on another.
She was single with no heirs basically no estate and I now get the pleasure of calling them all and telling them they are well and truly ed.
How can they jack up the interest like that? Effectively, that gives banks the power to bankrupt people even when they could have worked their way out of the hole. That's what you get when you deregulate banking.
Hey Bud!!! Wish I had a bro like You!!!
You're the best!!!
When you roll up in a new forum, it might help NOT to inexplicably post that brothaman CC is in denial of something because he's sticking it to some credit card companies.
A cute face and a nice pair of boobies might get you personal attention from Mavs/Lakers forums. Not here, sister. Well, maybe a little, but not as much as one would think.
That's probably a mouse troll you're talking to, Stringer.
Get your head out of your arse. Not every troll is Mouse mate.That's probably a mouse troll you're talking to, Stringer.
Reading comprehension is a real problem for you, isn't it? I used the word "probably". Could be your troll, could be anyone's, but this one uses many of mouse's writing patterns, posts in bold, adds random pictures. Sound like anyone we know? Or do you think it's a real person?
Why are you so obsessed with following me around and posting about everything I write? Got a crush, have you? Sorry, I don't swing that way.

Sorry to hear about your sister, CC.
And it's disgusting that someone would try to flame a thread such as this, even on a troll account.
I'm sure you still mourn her death, but it's also great to be able to celebrate her life. From your other posts about her, it seems both you and her had really come to terms with things and were able to enjoy spending time together before she passed. I hope you continue to handle losing her well. Good luck and remember the good things, good times, good memories.
Funny story about the credit card companies. I'm sure she was laughing while you made the phone calls.
Way to screw over The Man!As executor I get to clean up the mess and she was BURIED in credit card debt. I couldn't believe it...and they kept approving her for new cards and raising her limits.

I mean, technically, the credit card company will probably screw over all of their people to make up for the loss... but they're already screwing people over anyways. SCREW 'EM!
stick it to the man.
and ozzy, stop ruining this thread.
I am sorry for your loss.
As for the credit card companies: was she the one actually making all these purchases or was someone using her card to do it. If the latter, it is probably not a good idea to brag about it online. The original debt from her illness is understandable, but purposefully running up debt for fun on a dying person's credit card creates issues- legal and moral.
She was semi-functional right up till the day before she died. The big time steroids she was taking to keep the swelling in her brain down put her on a shopping high like she was mainlining meth. I'm STILL getting crazy in the mail she ordered on E-bay. The best one so far was some microwaveable bags used to sterilize breast milk pumps. I opened the box and was like...WTF????
Are you going to donate the stuff you don't/can't use? That would be an effective use of the credit card company's monies. >=)
Sure.
I've got 12 hardback copies of "When Everything Changed: The Amazing Journey of American Women from 1960 to the Present" from Amazon.
Want one?
Godbless your sister CC, may she rest in peace.
Sorry about your sister but look on the bright side at least she doesnt have to put up with her got ass brother anymore
So she informed them she was dying and they jacked up her rates? Wow, they deserve everything they got, especially since they wouldn't work out a payment plan with her. So instead of collecting maybe 20% or even 50% of the balance, now they're stuck with jack !
who's flaming the thread you in pussy?
