Grrrr---flaming credit card companies

In my opinion some of these firms are little better than front door loan sharks.This week an envelope arrives ``To the occupier``so i imagine that they were posting all over my area.The contents were from a well known credit card provider offering me a credit card ,initial credit limit £100 to £750.Oh and typical apr.34.9%,very good of them!

With,for many,Christmas is an expensive time of the year and I fear some will be tempted into falling for this.Gets my hackles rising!

    I just send the freepost envelope back to them with their junk inside it, maybe I should start sending lead weights with it as well?;)
