Credit card companies today have no ethics whatsoever. I've have kids in my seminars as young as 13 with their own credit cards (not authorized signer cards). These companies know these kids are not of legal age to enter into a legal and binding contract. However, they do it knowing that the kid can't pay and then use strong-arm tactics to intimidate the parents into paying. I've met with some people up on Capital Hill about it and believe me, heads are going to roll very shortly. Check Senate.gov...Sen. Carl Levin is a bulldog on this credit card issue. He chairs a senate subcommitte on cred card co. abuses. I am interfacing with them to bring more light on these issues as it pertain to teens and young sadults who really don't fully understand the implications of having severe debt & bad credit by age 17. Keep up th good work.

Education regarding credit cards and money matters in general needs to start early - way before prescreened cards hit their mailboxes.
