    The bigger problem is credit card companies constantly raising your credit limit every 6-12 months. If I want to raise my limit, I'll ask - inbstead they put it up to encourage me to get into more debt with them. I usually just call them and ask to put it back down to where it was.

    That's weird. Why don't you just leave them as you are and not spend? What a waste of a phone call.

    About time too. These things were just wrong on so many levels.

    They encouraged you to spend (outside of the protection a credit card purchase would give you) and they were at risk of being intercepted by fraudsters.

    It's worse than that..............

    They were actually ISSUED by fraudsters.
