1. Here's what I've got so far...
Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 09:32 PM by JonathanChance
To whom it may concern:

In the past, I considered getting a credit card once I graduated from college. However, now that you have sponsored so-called “Bankruptcy reform” legislation that effectively gashes yet another gaping hole in the already threadbare safety net, I have now officially declared a boycott of the services provided by your company and all of your cohorts in the business of preying on the American middle class.

2. Good Idea
I usually just send them back torn up so they have to pay postage, but since they're providing me with the postage paid envelope, I might as well comment on their new bankruptcy bill.

3. just add weight
Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 09:36 PM by miss_kitty
other junk mail. Fill it so full, you have to tape it shut. They pay the postage. Make sure on that one piece of THEIR mail to you, with your name and special number, you write: PLEASE QUIT SENDING ME JUNK MAIL. THANK YOU. or something like it. They get it when you make them pay for 4 ounces of nothing.

on Edit: Ooooh! I started this before you put your message up-put that on there too.

6. I like to...
Tape it to a brick. Very geometric and quite heavy. They get the point rather quickly

4. Just take all of your other junk mail
and stuff it in their envelope. Make sure it you cram as much as possible to increase the weight.

5. Dear ____________: Thank you for your application for the position of
Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 10:47 PM by 1monster
credit card grantor for the ______________ family.

I'm sorry, but at this time we are unable to offer you this position.

The fact that you and other credit card companies are charging up to 30% interest on credit accounts, assessing punitive fines of $35.00 and up for each and every late payment (even when the payment is less than one day late), fines of $35.00 for every over the credit limit charge (even when the over the limit charge was assessed by you), and fact that one can pay all the original principal charged plus a two digit interest rate and still be in debt to the credit card grantor for thousands of dollars, were the determining factors in turning down your application to be our credit card provider.

If, in the future, you fix these problems and others not itemized, you are welcome to apply again for the position of credit card grantor for the _____________ family.

Thank you for your interest in our business.

Sincerely,

The _______________ Family

7. hey I don't mean to be the grammarian or spelling fascist
Edited on Fri Mar-25-05 10:08 PM by miss_kitty
but it's 'assessing'. 'Accessing' means to gain entry; assessing means to levy a fine or tax.

Good letter though. Making excellent points. They are usurious levels.

Edited for punctuation

8. Sorry, Miss Kitty. I might have caught that myself, except that I am
feverish, tired, and sick with a nasty sinus infection... Should have gone to the doctor's this a.m., but couldn't face driving the half mile to the office and the long wait once there. I've already had to edit an edit I did on that post. *~*

10. hey! normally I wouldn't have said a word
but I thought it was a great bunch of stuff to say. I put it off on the wrong pronunciation of 'accessory' (It's 'ACK...' not 'ASS..')

Sorry you're sick-believe me, I know EXACTLY how you feel right now! *sniff* *cough* *puke*.
