Had an interest rate of 2.99% with Chase, for life of loan , They came in said oh no changing terms .. we had paid it off but screw them.. Lowes home improvement basically did the same thing.. they said due to the times they were limiting the amount we could charge...we do 12 months same as cash.. never missed a payment and we don't pay late .. good deal for us .. everyone is scared now with abomination..fear makes people/companies take actions they normally would not.

I've had my Mastercard since 1978 with a similarly high credit limit. I recently got a notice from the issuing bank that they will be charging a minimum 7.75% APR. Doesn't bother me because I pay the bill in full each month, but it did take me back a bit. I think we're all paying the price for all those people who defaulted on their credit.
