Bad business
Bad business. I fell in to hard times last year just like many other people. I had two kids hospitalized for serious health conditions (bone marrow transplant and another coming out of remission and having a new baby.) I had to take unpaid FMLA. I NEVER, EVER paid Mercury late I did have to almost max it out aside from about 500 but isn’t that my right at the rate I signed up with????. Went through ALL of my savings. Even though I have paperless communication on I randomly received a letter that I might not even have opened stating that they were moving my Mercury card acct to a 35.99 % interest rate and charging me a 99.00 a year fee. By June 11th Due to the fact that my credit score had dropped to subpar. I could refuse this and close my acct so long as I kept paying and called to deny the new terms. I’ve recently went back to work and I will be on track again to earn my usual respectable income. But catching back up takes time especially if not a single bill has been late from any company in the last 3 years. I would go hungry just to pay on time (Spouse died in 2021 and I had a bankruptcy) when I called to close my acct and deny what Mercury bank was about to do to me. Just by sheer luck opened the deadline letter…. Their scripted verbatim phone response was so insulting!!! “Thank you for being a valued mercury card holder and to get you to stay and accept the new terms we will give you a one time courtesy payment of 50.00, which will cover half of the yearly fee one time that we will be charging immediately lol 😂 I couldn’t even hold back my maniacal laughing, because these companies must think we are desperate and stupid. I will tell everyone that I ever meet when discussing credit how dirty this bank is. Kicking people when they are down trapping them in debt. Smh humanity doesn’t exist in corporations or private entities… but let’s just all keep ignoring the obvious. Screw you Mercury Card. I’ll have you paid off as soon as possible so that you don’t get anymore money from me then you should. VERY ANGRY CONSUMER
