Credit card fine print

Credit card fine print

Have you ever noticed how bad the creditMoney loaned or the ability of an individual or company to borrow money. card companies try to hide all the details from you? First of all when we say fine print, it really is super small on the back of your credit card agreement - the font is like a quarter of normal size so you need a magnifying glass. The second thing is that for some reason they are allowed to use lighter ink so even if it was normal size, it is still extremely difficult to read. I'm surprised they don't print it in a foreign language to inhibit you even more!

Yeah I have noticed, but I still try to read as much as I can, because failure to do will be detrimental to me and my pocket.

This is something new that has been going on in the past few years that I have noticed. Its almost sick to think they can get away with this kind of crap.

This thread made me go take a look at the back of my cards. I never really paid them any mind before. It' s true theat the writing is super tiny but mine doesn't say much more than where to report a lost card.

Not on the back of the card, crooksall. I meant on the back of the statement where it lists the general details of the card agreement. Almost all are not only tiny print but printed in a lighter ink to make it even harder to read.

You mean there's print in there??? Nonsense! Yup it's so small and in such complicated terms. Like how am I suppose to know what accrued means? English please!

I can't afford to loose money so I am maniac when it comes to such stuff. I read every bit of information that is given, anywhere! But I agree strongly how this works. It's legal but the rules are twisted to the maximum extent!
