I paid off my Providian/WaMu credit card yesterday and called to cancel it this morning.
This card has had anywhere from 21-31% interest (The current interest rate was 31%) for the duration of the time I've had it. I called repeatedly to ask them to lower the rate, but I was always told there was nothing they could do for me.
This morning when I called it in to cancel, of course they asked why. My reply was, "Because 31% interest is greedy and malicious and I no longer do business with companies that lack integrity." The representative was speechless. So then I replied, "Don't take it personally. I'm doing this with all of my credit cards."
Dave Ramsey, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Goodbye WaMu!

You can listen to him online, either by streaming audio or downloading his show or you can catch him in your area on the radio.

I listen to Dave's show online each day before my boss comes into work. I enjoy listening to his advice.

Congrats about getting rid of the card! 31% is crazy!
