CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE.Today I discovered that my original "Chase, Keep your Word" sign gets more attention at the same location than my more "mobile" protest signs that I had used yesterday. People came up to me to ask what was going on. I think if I stay at this location for a few more days that more and more people will ask what is going on, or check out the website, and get involved.
I think what is starting to happen is that people who actually turn into the large parking lot on a daily basis will take the time to walk up to me and learn more, at least that is what happened today.
When people ask what is going on, I quickly mention the 250% increase in the monthly minimum payment, and that there is no opt out option. It is the no opt out aspect that usually makes people shake their heads in disbelief. They can't believe that in a civilized society of rules and laws that banks can change terms, and not allow the customer any say in the matter.
People on the streets are turning out to be more reasonable, thoughtful, and fair, then the entire boardroom of Chase Bank.
When I next mention to those who stop by that AMEX, CitiBank, and American Airlines are conspiring to steal frequent flyer miles from AMEX customers so Citibank can trade them for better loan terms with American Airlines, people just can't believe that our government would let them down this way.
Meanwhile Chase bank continues to run commercials around the clock on California television announcing their arrival in our state as if they have come to save us. GUFFAW! Chase Bank's advertising is possibly making the local television stations reluctant to publicize our growing revolt against Chase Bank and their credit card division for fear of losing their advertising dollars in this tight economy.

Yep! Changed minimum by double and a half!!!!! It's like they WANT to bankrupt their good customers. I've never been late, but apparently they don't like the great interest rate I've been getting from them. The old bait and switch. And their excuse was basically 'times are hard.' Tell me about it! What other loan in the world can you suddenly say to a consumer 'uh, I've decided suddenly you've got to pay this back two and half times faster than we originally agreed. And guess what folks? There is no opt out! Furthermore, if you use their so called proactive review, your credit rating goes down, making it more difficult to get a decent deal from another lender. It's an outrage.
