(APN) ATLANTA--Ralph Reed’s largest campaign financial supporters, members of Georgia’s Hanna family, are major owners of CompuCredit–the company which issues the highly usurious "credit rebuilding" Aspire Visa Card–Atlanta Progressive News has learned.

Aspire Visa is notorious for extremely high annual fees, monthly fees, account opening fees, credit line increase fees, and finance charges, in addition to awful customer service. CompuCredit, which runs Aspire Visa, targets individuals with past credit problems who are unlikeky to receive a credit offer from any other company.

David Hanna, CompuCredit President and CEO, gave $12,000 total in an off-election year to Mr. Reed for Reed’s campaign for Georgia Lt. Governor, according to disclosure statements of financial contributors obtained by Atlanta Progressive News. Frank Hanna, President of HBR Capitol Ltd., and David’s brother, gave $13,000. Kimberly Hanna, a homemaker, gave $13,000. Sally Hanna, a homemaker, gave $13,000.

The Hanna brothers may find it difficult to appreciate the struggles of the poor since they are listed as eighth and ninth on a 2005 list of "Georgia's 100 Barons of Business."
