Hi, I received a letter in the mail stating that I am pre-approved for a " New gold card." And there was no information with it so I have no ideal what's going on. All I know is that it is from Creditcorp, Inc. But yet they want a $29.95 for membership fees, and they will send me the rest of the info. I need a little more information than what they are providing. Can you help me????

RE: Credit {GOLD CARD PRE-APPR It's not a real credit card, you can only use it to buy from their catalog of expensive stuff, save your money and shred the letter. A.F. --------------- Free Credit Repair Information! http://www.Creditinsiders.com

RE: Credit {GOLD CARD PRE-APPR I received the same offer today from CrediCorp, Inc. The first thing I noticed was the following language: "...with a $10,000.00 credit limit valid exclusively toward all credit purchases from credit provider." The key words are "purchases from credit provider." This is like a department store credit card whereby you can only use it to purchase items from that particular department store. Why would anyone pay $29.95 for credit to purchase items that are not even disclosed? They may have good products at reasonable prices, however, I feel their intent is to be deceptive even though the wording on the statement IS VERY CLEAR TO ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY READS IT. They have even set this phrase out in CAPTIAL letters so that it stands out from the rest of the type. When in doubt, read the small print (and THE LARGE PRINT!) I do not agree with the practice of this type of marketing, however, I chuckle to think that people send their money in without even reading what it is they are purchasing. If President Clinton has taught us anything (along with Rush Limbaugh of course), it is that words actually mean something.
RE: Read the #%!#@$#$ LARGE pr When you look right at it. Its a simple mailgram with ALL the type in CAPITALS. Very simple to read in striking contrast to many other catalog or credit card solicitation. You say you "chuckle to think that people send their money in without even reading what it is they are purchasing", what then if some of these same individuals come on sites such as these and whine and moan that they were cheated "boo hoo I didn't know"...they do everyday... Read the large print? Hell, its unlikely most of these suckers ever went beyond signing their name and sending in their payment.
