Why do people say credit cards are evil?
They're not. People are the ones who put themselves into debt and I can say this because I got myself into debt, I paid it all off thankfully. But yeah credit cards aren't evil, we all know that the credit card companies want to make money off us, so we all know what its about going in. Besides the cc company didn't hold a gun to my head making me spend that money. :-P

hehe yeah I heard about the barcode thing, its just hilarious, lol. ;-)
                     
 




YOU BET
People think they're evil because they do exactly what you did they know they can spend the $$ that's there but they cant pay it back then they get collection calls so they blame everyone but themselves for what they've done because they feel dumb

They aren't evil, but the credit card companies tread a thin line between ethical and non-ethical.


T_T
Agreed, people will always blame everyone else before they blame themselves.

There's also the barcode thing, the sign of the anti-christ. The first, middle and last bar are supposed to be 666.
But that is ridiculous, fundamentalist cr*p.


biziaka
they might have crazy high interest but not evil. it's a for profit business and they just trying to make a dollar. it's up to the credit card holder to be responsible and not charge more than you can afford. it's that simple.

Or should we say the wrong use of credit cards are evil, just like money. Credit and Money are tricky things, so I feel that there should be classes taught at an early age on credit and money etc. this way people will be armed with the facts and knowledge of how to deal with credit.

you are correct.....however....the credit card companies do more than their share of taking advantage of people in hard situations. you make the decision to nibble on the cheese, but they don't have to set the trap either!

The debt is the evil people give in to trying to keep up with each other or trying to be better than someone else and end up losing everything. Debt free is the way to be.


Gray
People dislike credit cards because of one of two things: either they don't keep an eye on the balance and use more than they should, or they are tempted to dip into that additional credited balance. Those are obviously going to get you into trouble. Be responsible, however, and they can be used to improve your credit score quickly.

They are evil!!! I mean they have some nerve to loan me money and then ask for it back in small monthly payments. How dare they!!!

Thats the thinking of people in debt. I love my credit card, because it gives me 2% cash back and i use it everywhere and pay it off every month. (Sometimes twice a month if i use close to my limit) I make at least 30 bucks extra per month (at the very least!) just buy using my credit card to pay for stuff i would already buy like gas, rent, cell phone, ect. Its great.


Hi I'm Chubby 2
There Just Evil!!!

because like you said.. people dont know how to handle them... i work for a bank that sells more credit cards than any other bank... I can assure you.... I deal with people every day that overspend on their card and now cant pay. I tell most of them the same thing... why did you apply for a card if you cant handle it maturely and what do you think the bank should do for you... usualy they say reverse the fees, reduce the payments, etc... i then ask why the bank should be liable for their spending habits.... as long as you use them wisely they can be greta ways to spend... many from our bank come with checks that can get you as low as 0 percent for a time or 3.99 for the life of the balance

It's true. People create their own problems by charging things they can't pay for, and doing it over and over. Then, when the cards are maxed out, and they're paying 28% interest, they call the CARD evil!

I know at least 90% of the people I know have gotten in trouble with credit cards. I did too. I will never do it again.
I think my problem was with education. No one ever sat me down and explained how it all worked. But now I know. I also realize that it is up to us to get educated!!

My score is quite high now. I have become a "credit score junkie". I watch it like like a mother hen. I track it, I monitor it and I care for it like it was a new Fararri!
It's my lifeline to a car, a house and a lot of other things, for a good interest rate.

Good question.

Credit Cards aren't inherently evil, it all depends on the person wielding it. Some people see them as their own personal banks and they spend money that they don't have. Responsibility lies on the people using it to make sure that they don't overspend.

Sometimes saying that credit cards are evil is because of the companies. They promise you a great rate and then in a year they spike it up beyond what you ever thought would be possible. I guess it all depends on the person doing the complaining :P

credit cards are very hard to deal with. you can put more money on it after you spend it you have to get a new credit card. if you spend to much on it you go into debt which will take a long time and a lot of money to pay off

because its not your hard earned money your paying with, its their free money,and they will bill the hell out of you if your ever late on a payment to anyone of your creditors not just them.. the cc companies will tack on fees on top of fees to put you more in debt than you were before you ever used the card. plus the intrest rates are a killer as well, they will jack the apr up on you an not tell you. read the fine print in your terms an conditions before getting into credit card debt please.


in2alot
You make so much sense but the majority of people with credit card problems do not think like you. Plus, the credit card companies make it so easy for people, students, new homeowners, to get in debt with the savvy marketing techniques and basically want people to be in debt and only pay that ridiculous "minimum payment" so you DO stay in debt, for a long time and they can make a lot of money off of you. Do you know how easy it is to get a credit card when you are a student? They just send them to you automatically because they know or assume mommy & daddy are going to pay the bill every month.There's a lot of students in debt thanks to that, and those credit card companies are laughing all the way to the bank, "pun intended". I say the credit card companies are evil, and the people that are way in deep debt are just stupid.

It's called ignorance, or maybe they had some unexpected things happen. You never know when you actually need money.

its money you don't have. you don't own that money you're spending.

People have no self-control. When they get in a fix they want to blame everyone else.
