Hate your Credit Card Bills? MAXED OUT – NOW ON DVD
Maxed Out takes viewers on a journey deep inside the American style of debt, where things seem fine as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. With coverage that spans from small American towns all the way to the White House, the film shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of “preferred customer” and tells us why the poor are getting poorer while the rich keep getting richer. Hilarious, shocking and incisive, Maxed Out paints a picture …

money is created from debt
no debt no money
banks are printing money from thin air
gold do not back up the money any more.
if nobody get in debt ,money would not exist.

what if one of your relatives die and the funeral costs are $15.000 and you don’t have the money, why the banks don’t lent you the money with a fix rate with avery low interes 5% to pay for the funeral. but instead they give you a revolving credit card with 29% interest that you are going to pay for the rest of your life.
what are your options?

I used to have a lot of problems with debt, but sites like
theinternetcaschow.blogspot,com helped me raise that little bit extra each month.

Yes, the credit card companies are crooked, but personal responsibility needs to be addressed. People go out and buy new cars rather than used ones and use plastic to pay for everything from gas to groceries. That’s the type of behavior that causes problems. During the film, Bush said that people had been abusing the bankruptcy provision. That’s absolutely true. If you borrow money, you should pay it back. Period. The debt collector boys who used sports and pirate analogies were total d-bags.

What part of “THEY CHANGED THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT” do you not understand? You’re ignoring the fact that the contract I originally entered into was not honored. In any other industry they would be sued for breach of contract. It’s usury, it’s loansharking, it’s bad business, it’s bad for everyone and I don’t give a shit about your “free market” blatherings, we all know the game is rigged, but you keep defending the robber barons.
I have closed my acct with B of A and I will never go back.

I’d say screw em all !!! do to them as they do unto you !! they wanna stress the consumer , the consumer needs to stress the banks… Max out your cards and get all you can !!! But when you get the money, spend it responsibly !!
