Since the change over to WaMu there have been two upward rate changes - the first doubling the previous rate (when I was current on all payments). Then the constant shifting of payment dates made us late once and the rate went to 30%. We received a notice in December that the "penalty" rate policy went into effect in November! We're paying for their stupidity in the subprime mortgage mess. They will bury you in low-rate offers to hook you, then bump your rates for no reason without notice. I believe that's called "bait and switch" and is illegal for us average citizens. When the card was with Providian there were never any problems.

I do owe the money but I am paying more than the payment and it barley covers the interest, what can I do? I work for little more than min. wadge and they just won't help me, I have tried several times. Can anyone give me some advise out there? I am getting desprate. It got so high because my brother pased away in a nother state and I had to pay the expences. I am paying but it takes all I have to keep my head above water.

Now my rates are high and my billing cycle is being changed everymonth and my rate is also very high. Easily the worst card in the world and i am paying everything off. Please stay away from wamu.

I got my bill the other day and it was at 30% Washington Mutual is very wicked. they change your billing dates bya couple of days each month, then charge you a $39 fee then they slowly creep up your interest rate.
