I can't believe customers don't have any more recorse against these banks. They lie to you and make promises about not foreclosing but then they just foreclose. Ask me how I know. What a mess.

Your advice on this is sound. I recently fired my BIG Bank owned credit cards. We had 3 (13.99%,15.99% & 14.99%) we took out a home equity loan (6.5%) from my Credit Union,paid them off and now with every payment the balance goe's down. I had a 6.9% fixed HSB Credit card never missed or was late. The letter telling me it was being raised to 13.99% varible was "better for the consumer" gave me a much needed belly laugh.

I heard you today on WNYC radio. By coincidence, I read a helpful and related article on the Huffington Post about community banks: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/berdell-knowles-jr/community-bank-confidenti_b_415494.html I also appreciated your Newsweek article back in 2006 on 529 education programs! My wife put it aside for when we became parents (Oct 2008) and I am glad to be aware of the distinctions you raised in the article! Keep up the good work! Thanks for this message.
