Jeff Grosse’s Recommended Viewing in Regards to Underhanded Credit Practices

By Jeff Grosse

Having been in the debt settlement industry for so long, there is not much that shocks me anymore regarding credit. However, last night I watched a documentary on Netflix called “Maxed Out.”

It made light of how crooked the actual credit card companies, bill collectors, and even some government officials are when it comes to personal credit. It even illustrated how some people are driven to suicide due to credit card debt, as they feel it is the only way out!!!

I often hear that people have a moral obligation to paying back their creditors according to the agreements and fine print. I would strongly suggest that those people watch this film as it will show that the credit cards have an immoral obligation to keep those people in debt forever.

If you don’t have Netflix, you can still view this film online at http://www.maxedoutmovie.com . One other classic is called “The Secret History Of Credit Cards” which was a frontline special on PBS. This is a more cut and dry look at the facts of how the credit cards came to be in control of many things in this country. This video which is less shocking, but equally informative can be viewed for free at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/credit .

If you are struggling with high credit card debt, I strongly suggest that you watch one or both of these videos and then find a program to help you get back on track. Don’t be frightened or bullied by bill collectors or credit cards that only have their best interests in mind.
