: A Public Defender's Life in Alaska

So, get this. Today I got a letter from the Bank of America. I have been a customer for almost 9 years. I have 3 credit cards with them (I know, I know). I have an account with a few grand on it that I have been paying down each month. I have never, ever, ever missed a payment or been late. My credit score is good and has not gone down in the last few months. Yet for some reason my credit rate is going from 9.9% to 18.99%. No reason is given. I guess this Bank is doing this to millions of us to make up for bad decisions they have made. Bank of America got $45 billion of taxpayer money to stay afloat and now is doing this to me. Wow. I wish I could say I will pay it off right away and be done but I can't. So now I have to come up with another $100 plus a month just to pay interest on a card that I have been paying down. What the f&^? This is going to get ugly for me. I guess it is time to sell some stuff. And when I can, I will get rid of my Bank of America credit cards. Bastards.
