Discover Card Complaint

How Credit Card Companies Charging Extra Late Fees And Over Limit Charges

- wilmington, delaware
I am a senior citizen who is in trouble with 3 credit card companies. They charge late fees if the full payment is not sent in. I always paid on time but not the amount they requested. Then they started charging over limit fees, when the cards had not been used in a year. And they got my
checking card number to take payments automatically. But were taking more than what I requested, I cannot afford this as I am on a fixed income and just trying to pay these off.

I got in trouble by helping my children with their bills, and they won't help me pay back now, the credit card companies do not care what situation I am in. I do not want to file bankruptcy. I just want to pay these off.

I just can't tell you how sorry I am. Not just because you've been ripped off, but because even if you hadn't have gotten in trouble helping your kids, you raised them, you're their mother, they should be there for you! I see this so much in this day and age. I came from a very disfunctional family and was abandoned by them also. First when I told my mom about some abuse, then when I became disabled 3 yrs ago (my disability originated from the abuse as a child.)
If there is any way you can contact me, please do. I may not be able to help financially but I sure can be a great friend and supporter! Anyone else who reads this and is in need of a ear, if you can contact me it'd be great. Don't think of it as burdoning me, think of is as doing me a favor. I need friends too. Please take care of you! And remember, if you believe in God, He Never leaves your side, put your faith in Him!

Discover card let me down too Iam also a senior citizen and had my Discover card since they first offered it back in 85 or 86 never paid late and they wante to raise my interest to .31% for no reason at all so I closed my account and will finish paying it for the 19.99 which is still high but I do not want their card anymore they just kept on raising my available credit
I don't understand why they will do this to old customers and offer lower rates to new customers
