Capital One Once Again Proves Itself The Biggest Bunch of Scumbag Mafia Wannabees on the Planet
As a follow up to yesterday’s post about bad credit’s effect on employment prospects, I bring you a recent collection letter from the king shit stains over at Capital One. As is apparent from my recent letter, Capital One not only is aware of the misuse of credit data to inhibit reentry into the labor force, they are actively using it to collect. So sayeth Capital One:
You deserve to know we report account status information to major credit bureaus. This information will stay on record with the credit bureaus for up to seven years. Credit reports may be accessed and used by lenders, insurers and employers nationwide. A negative credit rating can make it difficult to get a home mortgage, a car loan, an apartment, or even secure a job.
Aside from the inconsistent use of the serial comma, the most interesting thing about this letter is that they don’t try to cover up the underlying meaning – We are going to ruin your fucking life. Thanks a lot for the heads up motherfuckers.
On a personal note, the last time I talked to Capital One their suggestion for how I could resolve my delinquency was…wait for it…”Do you have any friends or family that could help you out?” Uh yeah, I think I’ll be heading for Costa Rica long before I let you guys get your hooks into either my friends or my family.
But then again, what can you really expect from Capital One.
Update: The Daily Show shows how the Mafia is actually more humane than companies like Bank of America and Capital One:
