The real effect was to make bankruptcy much more diffi- cult to declare and thus, more diffi- cult to get out from under a moun- tain of credit-card debt, no matter how you got there. It’s quite a system. It sucks you in with promises to waive this fee or that interest rate. It buries important information about serv- ice charges and rate hikes in minis- cule type, so that you don’t know it’s there until your bill swells unexpectedly. It even gathers infor- mation about you with no meaning- ful consent and has to be forced by law to let you look at it even once a year. (That’s what those irritating commercials for credit reports are all about: If you’ve already looked at your score this year, you can pay for the privilege of looking at it again.) Interestingly, this score can actually suffer if you don’t carry some interest-accruing debt on your credit card, so it’s not actually a measure of how credit-worthy you are, it’s a measure of how much cash they think they can get from you. And you get to pay for the privilege of looking at it. The credit-card industry is just the tip of the iceberg, unfortunately.
