    Does anyone know the highest legal interest rate that you can be charged on a Mastercard?

    In some states (South Dakota, Delaware, and apparently Georgia) there is no legal limit.

    I mention Georgia because my Aspire account, issued from Georgia, still has an interest rate of 29%. Needless to say, I'm trying to reduce my balance. Then I intend to negotiate a lower rate, which an Aspire rep told me they are willing to do.

    I heard that Aspire has a default rate of 42%. What is this world coming to?

    I received one of those instant loans where they send you the check and by endorsing it you are signing the loan agreement. I believe it was from Beneficial or maybe household (it was awhile ago). The interest rate was

    38%
    that's right
    38%

    This was in rather small type by the way. Of course I shredded it
