2. It figures. More ways to make the American customer pay in the end...

After all did you know everytime you close a credit card your Credit score takes a HIT. ANY TIME someone Looks up your CREDIT infomation YOUR SCORE takes a HIT. So you go to buy a house and get Water, Gas, Electric, cable-All companies that now check someone's credit-you will see your credit score drop. Don't even start adding Credit fraud to the list of stress.


So it is all a scam to make the average person life harder.
