Here are seven ruthless practices that credit card issuers engage in and loan sharks don’t:

1. Loan sharks don’t raise your interest rate if you’re late paying a bill to another creditor.

2. Loan sharks don’t solicit.

3. Loan sharks don’t change the terms whenever they want.

4. Loan sharks don’t penalize you for paying off your debt.

5. Loan sharks don’t charge you for not borrowing more money.

6. Loan sharks don’t make you sign a document that says that you can’t sue them.

7. Loan sharks don’t lobby the government to make it harder for you to go bankrupt.

Last time I checked, loan sharking was still illegal. The banking industry’s questionable practices are fully protected under the law.
