[QUOTE="Sue C, post: 18145, member: 87"] Yikes---cash advance on payday? I hope your daughter doesn't keep that up. Melissa has gotten herself into credit card debt pretty deep for a 21 year old who just dropped out of college and has no job yet. She owes $1,500 to Visa (card is maxed out), $40 to a different Visa, and $500 to Kohl's (maxed out), (plus school loans will start soon). She had cut up the card for the $40 balance Visa and was going to close the account as soon as it was paid off. But she recently called to have a new card sent. She immediately went off and charged lunch at Taco Bell and bought a new shirt at Kohl's (the card has a $3,000 limit--what are these credit card companies thinking???). We told her we would not pay her minimums. She missed the one Visa and Kohl's bills already, and they've added on a late fee. I'm hoping she gets a job soon and understands she should pay these cards off as soon as possible. I don't think these kids understand about money and high interest. Sue [/QUOTE]
