Sure just like the Oil Companies.

If you don't think consumer credit is a competitive market, look at your mailbox sometime...assuming you have a decent credit history. I get solicitations all the time offering me credit cards...my Visa card has stamped on it: "Member Since 75". (They mean 1975).[/quote]Mine says 1970, so what? It's not the same bank because they keep gobbling each other up so the competition, which appears intense, is really between fewer players.....just like the Oil Companies.
