Are these guys serious?

Hi All,

I've been looking round various websites just browsing really when I came across this on propertywide.co.uk:

"Poverty rates in the UK could increase dramatically by 2020, as a result of changes in the labour market, as well as the tax and benefits system.

That is the finding of research conducted by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, which has found that relative poverty rates will inch up in the next eight years.

If you feel that the economic downturn has negatively impacted your income, credit cards could help you bridge the gap.

You can compare credit cards with Propertywide."

Are these guys for real? Saying more families will drop into poverty cos of benefits cuts and everything else then trying to persuade people to use credit cards to "help you bridge the gap."!? Sorry guys but this is a terrible thing to suggest to desperate people! They should be pulled up and given a bit of a shake!

Am I the only one who thinks this?

Thanks

Chris

Sounds more like "Please compare cards with us so we can get money from advertising, then click the 'apply' button so we get commission. We don't actually care if you can afford the CC repayments or not. Thats your problem.".
