...over the last 12 months and deliquency is up 18% according to CardTrak. Here's the link to the story: http://www.cardweb.com/cardtrak/pastissues/feb02.html CardKid
Interesting... They have started re reporting my old charge-off from 1998. It was never updated till feb.2002
Good. Serves them right - they harassed the crap out of me for a Corporate AmEx card that I had that my employer was supposed to pay. When my employer was bought out by a billion dollar company (only paid $643 million for our company) they promised no layoffs - then proceeded to lay off 75% of the workforce. And apparently didnt pay the AmEx bill - neither did I. It never appeared on my credit report tho - even though they threatened me a few times.
I think Visa and MasterCard are putting the "squeeze" on them. Could Amex become the next Providian to reach out to a broader sector of credit users? CardKid
