Precisely.
Oh well, perhaps some don't understand it.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, take out a loan in hopes of return...
NEVER!!!!
If you do, you are doomed to fail.
Other than that, I have NO credit cards.
For online business I use prepaid debit cards.
They work.
And aside from that, I am sorry for hijacking the thread.
No, FJF, I am not on the "illegal" side of business. I just decline to discuss my personal affairs with you.
No offense.
If it is credit card debt they can't touch you in a court of law, credit card debt is unsecured debt, the only way they can get their money if you choose not to pay it is for you the debtor to file bankruptcy, then they are one of the last on the lists.
Doesn't matter, 200k in credit card debt a million, it's all unsecured there is no recourse for them to recoup their money other than to hope you file bankruptcy or pay them back.
Now secured loans is another situation, but credit cards that is the way it works.

Once again, I am not on the wrong side of the law.
I just don't wish to discuss these details with you.
You can take me at my word or not. I don't care.

Now here's the funny part. I have several credit cards and I NEVER signed any agreement for them
This is what we agree to when we get a card.
Again, this agreement is entered into in GOOD FAITH on both parts. Your part is that you agree to repay your credit card, "loan". Their part is to ALLOW you to repay that loan. By creating road blocks that prevent you from adhering to your part of the deal, they've broken that GOOD FAITH covenant entered into by both parties.

Those questions were hardly personal...come on !
As example, I have an S-Corp which shields my personal assets if something were to go wrong.
Of course I pay taxes and have all the proper numbers such as state tax ID, etc..
And I do pay an accountant but write up estimates and invoices myself.
See ! nothing personal there at all which again leads me to believe you enjoy an illegal cash only business for which you do not pay taxes. Thanks for forcing us to pay for your taxes !

Here's what I dont get....who the hell actually uses credit cards!???
Why isn't everyone a badass like me and throw cash down when you want to buy something...
You want something?....work, save, buy....done.
JEEEEEZUS, do I have to write a book called HOW TO NOT SUCK AT LIFE for all these cretins....
I had a bank of america credit card too...hadn't used it in like 2 years so they just closed it for me...good riddance...I mean, why would I use a credit card anyways?
Unfortunately for many, that's not the reality we live in.
Many people need credit cards for various things. As example, what happens if your furnace goes out in the middle of winter.... I know you're going to say you should have saved but if your wages were cut because of something known as a BAD ECONOMY, you might need to rely on a credit card.
I myself run a construction business and I don't have thousands laying around to pay for materials for jobs so I need to use a credit card until the invoice is paid.
What happens if your child gets sick and needs a lot of expensive medicine?
There are many reasons we need credit cards. That is the true REALITY.

Actually they do have a way to force you to pay. If you do not pay your credit cards and have a mortgage they will foreclose on your motgage or threaten to at least (been there) HOWEVER right now banks are hurting so this is not a tactic they will use.
