isislc 1,220 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Holy crapola Batman! New Millenium cannot legally service customers who reside in Wisconsin. I wonder if my Hooters card is going to be cancelled on me. I think I'll continue paying down my balance by a little more than the minimum till I find out. Link to post Share on other sites
Big Time 396 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Merrik bank's home page is still Merrik. Is there any other link? Link to post Share on other sites
whocares 1,184 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Nothing on the hooters site yet....and funny norhing on the merrick bank site either, but it's on the geico card site...and when you check using the geico link and put in your hooters ID, it brings up your hooters account, thru the geico card link...so somethings going on.

whocares 1,184 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Looks like someone else saw it before me...I was not quite sure of the change till I pulled a full report thru experian...thats where it said new millenium spelled out Link to post Share on other sites
Big Time 396 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'll dump Hooters if they try to change the card agreement to something even more predatory than it is now. Link to post Share on other sites
whocares 1,184 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Yeah it looks like new millenium is not a good company...I was considering dumping hooters anyway...I liked the geico for automatic payment of my insurance, but I guess any card would do that too...

Big Time 396 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 We'll see if I get a notice in the mail from them saying my annual fee is now $79, with an added participation fee of $49 and a program fee of $18 per month and a new 45% interest rate with a grace period of 15 minutes.

teacherofec 10 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I pulled my report and hooters is still showing merrick bank so I don't know what is going on maybe they sold off some accounts and kept others? Link to post Share on other sites
isislc 1,220 Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Well, either way, I know my account will close because NM can't run any of their products here in Wisconsin because of how predatory they are. Wisconsin is a consumer friendly state so there are lots of sub-prime cards we can't get access to. In the long run it's good for the consumer, without having to pay all those killer fees just to get credit but sometimes if you're starting out you need them. It's a catch-22 and I for one will not keep the card if it gets to that point. Link to post Share on other sites
whocares 1,184 Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm going to see about the CLI from Hooters, if I don't get one I will close the card before another annual fee is due...I have better cards now and don't really need it...I may take a small ding on my report, but thats better than what they could put me thru...As far as Geico card...I will probally close that too at the end of it's 1 year...I have 21 open accounts right now...that should be good enough for anything I want in the future...
