Btw2 - I dunno about the USA but here in the UK loan rates are always cheaper than credit card rates ,is it possible for you to pay off the card with a loan?
"surely that lawyer firm can't slam you with extra interest without warning?" That is exactly what they did and I brought it up to Mr Joyner who used to work there right away and he said there wasn't anything illegal about it, they tacked on standard 18% Credit Crad like interest rate. Guess that is the legal limit before it is considered illegal loan sharking?

There was a couple of big contributors from on here that made up large chunks of that as well as the incredible volume of the smaller amounts that shows that the online system and the term "Micropayments" can in fact work. Certain Industries fighting the Online and P2P World should learn from that experience too.

True, we already re-financed the house to a lower rate plus having to pay off my Van and Donna's car. The payment on my Van hit at the height of the ordeal, that is where what my Dad did came in that I still have a reliable vehicle, we would lost that too. I don't know how I'll ever be able to repay my Dad either. It took a lot to stop Donna and I from being buried. That's why I said no one should ever have to go through what we did and I do whatever I can so hopefully never get more members in the "Persecuted P2P Club", unfortunately the club is now up to 5 members with the addition of those College students including one that is a friend of an AT member here. The very real threat looming now is thousands and thousands of people taken down by Political process.
