he truth lies in the fact that creditors have figured out that recently discharged debtors are wonderful sources of income. When I was in university.,.. I worked part time but still continually ran out of dough .. I paid my own way and frankly partied way too much... but that was another life ;O) Anyway I ended up with quite a few cards.. When one maxed I would get another.. I never thought about why it was was easy.. So I would make minimum on the cards I owned.. which would relentlessly have the limits increased since I paid regularly and I added a few more cards... Finally my 'deficit' got just way to discouraging and I became a social hermit, working two part time jobs for a little better than a year to get out from under.. I guess I was stupid.. I could have gone bankrupt LOL.. but yeah it's interesting they offer more credit but raise the rates on those least equipped to finance the cards... blackie
