Damn, I get these things a couple of times a month!


I get several of them a week down here.
I've noticed an increased number of them arriving in the last month or so.
Probably up to close to 10/week.
Wonder if there is anything to that
Like they are rushing to push loans on people.

The deals are getting sweeter too.
Recently I remember getting one for no interest on balance transfers or purchases until June '04!
It makes me wonder sometimes how long do people take to payoff a frigging credit card?

One of them that arrives a couple times a month(even after several attempts to get me off their mailing list) gives me an extremely hardy chuckle.
They are trying to lend me $7500 at 23% over 5 years!

Guess I'm in the wrong biz!

Phil > I read "Form 3225" Ah ha, I think, I have received a 3225!!

I'm sorry, but the story was lost on me. I have no idea what Form 3225 is.

> Out there in dark Africa, you may be spared this kind of credit push. There indeed may be some advantages to living in South Africa.

With overdraft rates in SA at about 20% pa they wouldn't waste postage touting loans because they know only the wealthy can afford to borrow.
