What if the Bank found a similar type loophole in your credit agreement that enabled them to stick the interest rate up to lets say; 250%?sorry mate but if the loan or credit card is not legally binding the loan then becomes a gift so you have every right to spend it
You go to court and the judge says tuff, the agreement can be changed as they see fit, it would hurt you wouldn't it?Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0 -
Where does fairness and honesty kick in here? Bottom line is you borrow the money and you repay it, if you cant for what ever reason then work with the lender to resolve the situation, both parties will be better off either way.
