SUCKS TO BE a First Premier Bank credit card holder

That’s right, folks. A 79.9% APR.

And as if that weren’t punishment enough for having a lousy credit score, the shysters at FPB slapped on a $75 annual fee.

Here’s our take on the plastic pillaging.

Bus fare for a day of shopping: $4.

Crappy flat screen TV from Wal-Mart: $310.

Making $200 minimum monthly payments ’til The Second Coming of Christ: priceless.

There are some things credit card companies can’t do. Screwing financially inept poor people in the ass isn’t one of them.
