I’ve been an ADVANTA Credit Card customer for over 5 years, never late or over my credit limit until recently being laid-off and having to take a job earning significantly less than before, add to that several expensive family illness and things have gotten difficult financially.
Now when our US and World economy is the worst in decades and you listen to the news about financial institutions ripping people of like Bernard Madoff and others, ADVANTA “pushes the knife in a little deeper” for those least able to afford being “raped” by 32%+ interest rates.
The Advanta Credit Card “creatures” set a new low on Financial Institution customer abuse. With their cost to borrow (Fed Funds Rate) the lowest in a century (under 1%), they are charging me and my family 32.99% Interest Rate on our balances! There time for being exposed Nationally for the mistreatment of customers (weather legally entitled to do so or Not!) will come at a class action law suit I hope to see in the near future.
What a disgusting example of how to run a company … 32% interest on credit card balances…they aught to be ashamed.
AdvantaCredit Cards are are disgrace to th eindustry. Teaser rates get you to sign-up, then without notification or being late or over limit the increase rates to over 36%!
Even when payments aresent in 10 days prior to due date the charge you with late fees.
With everyone having difficulties financially today, Advanta sticks it to those leastable to afford their abhorant tactics.
Advanta Credit card services is happy to continue to extend more and more credit when things are good, but when things get tough the make it impossible to get out from under their thumb with 36% interest and late fees. They should be ashamed…they must not have families or a shred of reasonableness.
The national average interestrate charge on credit card balance is under 12%, so much for Advanta’s customer carereputation.
