Subprime Credit Card Issuer Raising Interest Rate To 79.9%

*** begin quote ***

In a recent mailing for a preapproved card, First Premier lowers fees to just that limit — $75 in the first year for a credit line of $300. But the new law doesn’t set a cap on interest rates. Hence the 79.9% APR, up from the previous 9.9%.

Self-defense is only course.

Worse than the Mafia?
