You've Been F#%?'D! : Campus credit card video from AFFIL
Dudes, check out this new video about campus credit card marketing-- You've Been F#%?'D! Take action and pass it on to your friends. It's from our partners at Americans For Fairness In Lending or AFFIL).
Credit card companies sign you up even if you have little or no income, knowing you'll trigger high "penalty" interest rates and fees. That's where they make their big $$$.
College students, young workers, immigrants, the elderly and others who are not aware of the traps get solicited the most and hit the hardest.
Free t-shirts, frisbees and pizza come at a dangerous cost. Your signature can lock in very unfair terms.
