Based on the Frontline report I watched the other day I would give the
"organized crime" label to the banks. The amount of interest charged
by Pay Day Loan companies is indeed excessive (which is why they have
legislated limits here in Canada) but at least you know _exactly_ what
you are paying in fees up-front. You may not think to do the math but
that is better than:
Banks who promote free checking accounts but you find out too late
that you can't turn off overdraft protection - and they deliberately
charge the big amounts in the month against the account (regardless of
date of charge) so that they can empty it and then charge $25 plus
fees for each and every subsequent check. You can accidentally
overdraw by $100 or so and easily end up $300 in the hole. Credit
cards companies are even worse. Do any of us read the really tiny
print that says that if you carry a balance and miss your minimum they
can retroactively up the interest rate?
And I'll take this off-line now before the wrath of David descends
from Hawaii.
