Not at all. Habitual defaulters will have their accounts closed. Who needs bad customers?
And if all these accounts get closed where will their profit come from??? From people like you - who will then have to pay account fees to prop up these profits.No Longer works for MBNA as of August 2010 - redundancy money will be nice though.
