The supporters were on their way home having seen their side beat the Hatters 2-1 in the Conference Premier to maintain their position at the top of the table.
Bedfordshire Police said that the two men were among five busloads of Kidderminster supporters.
As the coaches queued in traffic about a mile from the ground near the Mansfield Road junction an argument broke out between residents and the fans in the rear coach.
"It led to the coach being attacked," a police spokesman said. "Then some of the supporters got off to remonstrate and a fight ensued."
"Two Kidderminster fans are being treated in hospital for non life-threatening injuries, although one was stabbed twice," the spokesperson added.
Four local men have been arrested, but it is believed that the attackers did not appear to have any connection to Luton Town Football Club.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
EDitors UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to Commerce Payment Systems for its commitment to excellence in customer service.
Ripoff Reports discussions with Commerce Payment Systems have uncovered an ongoing commitment by the company to total client satisfaction. This means that clients can expect that the company will work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any complaints or concerns. Commerce Payment Systems listens carefully to client concerns and sees them as an opportunity to learn from past mistakes and become more efficient as a company in the services offered and the support for those services.
The information provided in this report is based on comments made by Michael Mendlowitz and his staff during an on-site inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases toward Commerce Payment Systems.
Commerce Payments Systems (CPS) is a credit card processing company and works to gain new clients through internet, direct mail and sales presentations. Their vision is to provide efficient, low-cost and reliable credit card processing solutions to all merchants. Sales for the company are generated primarily in 2 ways, direct mailing advertisements are sent out to the merchants and the other way is through internet searches that are conducted by the consumer. They also have a nationwide sales force that calls upon potential customers.
CPS tracks all order deliveries of equipment needed to process cards. They know the exact date items will arrive to new clients. On the arrival date, the customer service department places a Welcome Call to all new clients. During that call they ensure that the client is properly trained on how to work the equipment, they provide all relevant service contact numbers and they answer any additional questions that the client may have.
The company is trying to limit the amount of time that a client remains on hold when seeking customer support. The current hold time averages less than one minute and they have a goal to reduce that waiting time to 30 seconds. To achieve this goal, all calls are recorded and the hold time is tracked and reviewed by the customer service supervisor.
Prior to accepting a new client, Commerce Payments Systems carefully reviews the application with the new merchant. They explain in detail the fee structure and rates that apply. After the new client is accepted the welcome call is made where rate and fee details are again reviewed. These welcome calls are now recorded and randomly monitored to ensure that they are being conducted correctly.
Ripoff Report Verified .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
David Fields , the VP of Customer Support , stated We carefully consider all customer complaints as constructive criticism and use them as tools to improve our customer service upon". Our customers are the face of our business and their satisfaction is of the utmost importance. We value our customers above all else, and look forward to continually improving so that their experiences with Commerce Payment Systems remain strong, consistent and positive. Some of the other things Rip-off Report learned in the course of its investigation: typical customer feedback reads: Commerce Payment Systems (and Mr. Fields) truly communicate in a timely and effective manner. We are very pleased with the responsiveness that he and his employees show us. They are serious about meeting commitments, and deliver on all their promises."
Commerce Payment Systems principal, Mr. Michael Mendlowitz , has informed us that his personal philosophy is that his clients are a precious resource. As a successful businessman, Mr. Mendlowitz feels it is critical to listen to his clients and respond properly. By always putting his customers first, Mr. Mendlowitz hopes to maintain Commerce Payment Systems as a successful enterprise both now and for many years to come.
Further, at Commerce Payment Systems, all of the customer support representatives now must have a minimum of 2 years experience in the bank card industry. This is a requirement for an employee to be part of our customer support team. What this means to you, is that all of your questions will be answered promptly and professionally. Their friendly support representatives are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week, with an average wait time of under 20 seconds. Most other Merchant Service providers outsource there support staff, which comes along with long wait times and language barriers. This is something you will never have to experience here at Commerce. Further, they contact customers to gather valuable feedback so that we can continue to adapt and deliver the best customer service possible. Commerce Payment Systems is willing to go above and beyond to do what it takes to make things right with their customers.
Commerce Payment Systems takes employee satisfaction seriously as well. Employee feedback and surveys reveal comments such as this: "Commerce provides a very positive environment to work. Opportunities for suggestions and improvements are encouraged. Mr. Mendlowitz is truly concerned about our contribution to the company and providing growth opportunities for us. He takes the time to listen and communicate with employees and customers." Rip-off Report was pleased to learn that Commerce Payment Systems past and current approach to business is focused on its pledge to total commitment towards client and employee satisfaction.
Every complaint received is now personally addressed by the customer support supervisor via telephone. This occurs usually within the first 24 hours that the complaint is generated. The most common complaint received is that some of the rates and fees are not understood by the customer. When these complaints are received the customer service department contacts the complaining party and reviews and explains the rates and fee structure of the company.
Another type of complaint received from customers is that even though they have not generated any sales, they are still receiving a bill. When this type of complaint is received, customer service again contacts the client and explains about the minimal monthly service charge that is the policy of Commerce Payments Systems. If the complainant is still unsatisfied then customer service is able to waive the monthly fee in most instances.
A previous instance a client complained about was because they were not satisfied with the equipment he had received from Commerce Payments Systems. He felt that it wasnt working properly for his business. A customer service representative was able to determine that the credit card processor that the client received was a dial-up processor and that he would be much better suited with an internet based terminal. Commerce Payments Systems then overnight shipped the proper device to the client and followed up with a phone call to make sure that the client knew how to work the new device. The client was then contacted by a customer service supervisor where the client then expressed his satisfaction to the service he received.
The company instills upon their staff that if a customer is unhappy then Commerce Payments Systems is not doing their job correctly. They have authorized their customer service employees to issue reasonable refunds when requested and they implore upon them to become more merchant friendly. These refunds can even be granted in situations where the client is wrong. They express to employees to take the extra step to keep the client satisfied. The company feels that it is a benefit to be associated with the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program. By being a part of the program it shows existing, as well as potential clients that Commerce Payments Systems has concern for and cares about their clients.
Commerce Payment Systems recognizes that complaints posted on Ripoff Report (whether true or not) are issues that need to be addressed, not ignored. If handled correctly, complaints can be valuable learning opportunities. With the feedback generated by Rip-off Reports Investigation Commerce Payment Systems has made organizational changes allowing its clients and employees a more streamlined approach to problem resolution and a commitment to a great client experience.
In summary, after our investigation, which included discussions with Mr. Mendlowitz and many of his past and current associates, Rip-off Report is convinced that Commerce Payment Systems is committed to quality delivery of merchant services resulting in total client satisfaction.

============ Commerce Payment Systems Failed to refund Hewlett, New York
On 2/24/11 I faxed a Cancellation Letter to Commerce Payment Systems, effective 03/01/11. My last batch with this company was 03/01/11. They debited by account in April for $24.85 which I understand was for March processing. However, on 05/03/11 they debited my account $38.37. They say they did not receive the fax and the refund has been denied. The fax was successfully sent. The reason I cancelled with this company is because of their customer service. On several occassions I had customers in the store andf needed to contact them and my hold time was 30-45 minutes and the customer ended up leaving. Every time I called them and was on hold and asked to leave a message and call back number, no one ever called. Now I have faxed David Devers 3 days in a roll concerning this ma tter and left messages and no call. This is not alot of money but more a matter of principle. I did as they say and faxed the cancellation letter . with their history of neglecting the customer , it is no suprise that they are saying they did not receive the fax.

I became more suspicious when I looked at the return address on the box:
The Reader's DIgest Association, Inc.,
7501 Winstead Drive, Louisville, KY 40281
Everything I have received from the real Reader's Digest over the years has come from Pleasantville, NY. I had decided to just write "Return to Sender"
on the box and put it in the mailbox. But first, I checked this out on Google and found this to be just another scam. Today, March 25, I received a bill from the company in the amount of $29.53 due on April 8. The payment is to be sent to Readers Digest Payment Processing Center, P.O. Box 80055, Prescott, AZ 86304-8055
The "Free Gift" is a Reader's Digest book and 2 pens and a tiny toy.

Meet Cary Beacon, a super-hero in his own mind. Cary's mission to rescue his kidnapped step-kids leads him to Mexico, where he teams up with El Yucatango, a gonzo masked wrestler on a mission of vengeance. As Cary and El Yucatango fight the battle of their lives to save the kids, Cary's disappearance forces together his fractured family back home, torn apart by a fiery tragedy years ago. The parallel quests of Cary and his family link to an explosive moment in true-life history: the KKK's 1924 siege of the immigrant mining town of Lilly, Pennsylvania, which left a curse on the Beacon family. Can delusional Cary break the curse? If he and his siblings reunite as their childhood backyard alter egos, The Nuclear Family, maybe they stand a chance.

The Earwig Superstition: There is a long-standing European superstition that earwigs do, in fact, bore through the eardrum and tunnel through a person's brain, leaving eggs behind to hatch if they are female. Sources that cite this belief go back about a thousand years. This belief is also the origin of the insect's name. In May 2007, a 9-year-old boy in Albany, Oregon, US, had two spiders, one living and one dead, extracted from one of his ears. In 1862, British explorer John Speake, credited with being the European discoverer of the source of the Nile, suffered infections and other considerable ill effects from a beetle that crawled into his ear. In that case, however, the problems were not caused by the beetle itself, but by the attempts to remove it. Although there have been cases of maggots growing under human skin, usually introduced through a wound, medical literature has yet to record a case of burrowing through the eardrum.

Republican leaders from throughout the second congressional district were in Dothan, criticizing Democratic nominee Bobby Bright.
The county GOP chairmen say Bright is accepting political contributions from liberal sources even though he claims to be a conservative.
They contend accepting money from the national Democratic Party will make him indebted to party leaders if he's elected.
The Bright campaign says their financial support comes from a broad spectrum of sources and that Bright will be a strong, independent leader in Washington.

Sunday, November 16, 2008. (AP) -- Terrence Oglesby's 16 points and a strong defensive effort helped Clemson defeat Temple 76-72 Sunday to win the Charleston Classic.
Clemson (3-0) led by as many as 14 points in the second half, but the Owls rallied to cut the lead to two with 38 seconds to play. The Tigers made just enough free throws down the stretch to hang on.
The Tigers held Temple (2-1) to 31.4 percent shooting in the second half and 45 percent for the game (27 of 60). Temples leading scorer, guard Dionte Christmas, scored 14 points against the Tigers after scoring 26 points in each of the Owls first two games in the tournament.
Ryan Brooks led Temple on Sunday with 19 points.
Clemson held a 45-39 halftime lead after shooting 64 percent from the field, including 9-for-17 (52.9 percent) from 3-point range.

Enjoyed this chapter and story as well. You are a gifted writer.

This story is interesting and very atmospheric. I particularly like "Web Cutter", it's a very cool interpretation of the Pattern Spiders.

Sounds pretty good so far. I only have a minor nitpick: the patronymic is correctly spelled 'Konstantinovna'.

Oooooo. You have me very intrigued now! _ I can guess at some parts of it- the true servant is Gabby, and the speaker is either the spirit bound to her or Gaia, or maybe somehow both? Am I right? *wants to know more*

I have a blog with a 'featured' section in the sidebar which displays the 5 most recent featured posts with their excerpts. Recently I installed the NextGen gallery plugin and the Yet Another Photoblog Plugin and then noticed that the featured sections on my single posts pages weren't displaying the excerpts anymore (the Single Posts file calls the sidebar just like the other files do and the featured section is in the sidebar).
So I de-activated the plugins yet I still have the problem (see the right side):
I can't for the life of me figure this out - any ideas??

Corporate Advocacy Program™
Upon receiving the products and being shown to me, I've realize that this is a scam because the product quality itself is just trash and there was no need to charge extra P+H for more products that you did not want. They DO NOT give you a receipt so you will have to go to the troubles of going to your bank and getting their information and they will lie about their name. I've read multiple threads of this company and notice that the name "Paul" was the one helping each one of them out which is a lie. What company has 100+ Pauls working for them?
Overall the company is worthless and it seem like they are expanding because no one is taking action and I hope that someone with power will because this is not right and stealing money from American people is just plain sad. They are a company that will charge you extra and WILL NOT give you a receipt and they lie about their names and they WILL SCAM YOU. I hope everyone that read this will NOT buy their products and if you have, spread the words that this is a shame on America's land and the company should get investigated and go to prison.

Hey TSR!
I got 2A* 3A 2B 2C and I want to got for medicine. What did you get and what do you want to study in University.
Brag about your gcse results here!!!
|Posted on
1 A*, 4 A's, 4 B's, 3 C's and I want a career in the medical profession.
Ensure you apply at the right university - certainly not Birmingham/Oxbridge. You also need to get those A-level grades and Work Experience.
OT: Trolls come out this time of year and post fake results, don't be put off.
5 A*s 3 As and 2 Bs - Unlike many I don't want to do medicine
My A*s:
English Literature
English Language
Religious Studies
ever since i was 1 year old it has been my life long dream to work in a big investment bank and do some investment banking, maybe i'll work for the UN on saturdays for a bit of extra, and as a surgeon on sundays. this is the bare minimum i expect from my future career
now i just can't go on. i only got 14 A*s and an A. i'm so depressed i can't go on. i might not get into oxford, or god forbid even into some lesser uni like warwick. im going to be a failure for the rest of my life
Trying to get into medicine or Physics
I got 1A*, 6 As, 5Bs and one C.. hopefully the B in Bio would turn into an A after the remark!
And I want to medicine too
8 A*s and 2 As! I wanna be a nurse
EDIT: negged for good results. Either that or someone hates nurses.
There's already a thread for this.
Anyway, English Lit: b (expected b)
Law: c (expected c)
History B1: a (expected c)
History B3: a* (expected c)
Geography Higher: b (expected b)
R.E 1: a (expected a)
R.E 2: a* (expected a)
Drama: a (expected a/a*)
The following results are old ones that I'm currently at:
Physics: a
Biology: a
Chemistry: a
English lang: a/borderline a*
Maths: b/borderline a
Spanish: a*
German: God knows! My teacher says I can achieve an a*, although we haven't received any results!
ASDAN/COPE Award: Distinction (bb)
I want to study History in University
1 A*, 8 A's and a C in French
I want to study Law at Uni
English Lit: A*
English Language: A
History: A*
French: A
Math: C
Science Double Award: CC
Drama: C
Economics: B
Don't know what I want to do with my life yet, but I'll definitely be a writer on the side. History of Art?
10A*'s, 1A... A-level: 4 A's... Thing is. Life isn't all about results. You can have a gazillion A*'s, and still not get into medicine (I want to do medicine btw), due to some random issue. Make sure to remember of the whole picture, not just results. Results get you sorted from the rest of the pack which apply to your course as well. But in the current climate of GCSE's and A-levels getting easier, you must have something apart from grades to set you apart from the crowd, because they will have the same results as you.
Concerning medicine:
- Ace the UKCAT/BMAT
- Get some work shadowing/volunteering
- Read up on basic medical knowledge
- Write a good personal statement (TSR will help you with this)
- Do some prep for the interview, but not too much.
I got 7A* 4A 1B 2C quite happy with that, reckon it's good for unis like Warwick, imperial and cambridge?
5 A*s, 2 As and 4 Bs. I don't know what I'll be doing. Not Medicine, but something in the science department
Biology A*
Chemistry A*
Physics A*
Mathematics B A*
English Language B B
Accounting A*
Economics A
Can anyone tell me if this is good enough for LSE?
5A*s and 5As at IGCSE - I'm not sure how IGCSEs compare to GCSEs, they're suppose to prepare you better for A-level and anyway; well done to everyone and goodluck for those wishing to do medicine... I have no idea what I want to do yet. :/ xxxx
(Original post by TheMJCG)
Hey TSR!
I got 2A* 3A 2B 2C and I want to got for medicine. What did you get and what do you want to study in University.
Well done everyone
I got 4A*'s and 8A's
EDIT: A year on and still getting negs? Wow!
I got 6A*'S and 3A's at GCSE
Hopefully It would be enough to study Law at Cambridge
11A*s, 1A (which the whole year is getting remarked - AQA Drama), an A in FSMQ Additional Maths and an A in my French AS-Speaking.
Why so many negs?
I'm still getting negs ONE YEAR LATER?
Best not add that I got 6As at AS...!

>expect more price drops.The D600 sure looks tempting, but before it was announced I made a commitment to stay with my D7000 and splurged on the Sigma 50-150 f/2.8 which is a DX lens. But if what you say is true and the price for the D600 drops to around $1600, it sure would be even more tempting!!!Darn NAS!!! Pete

Litton Loan not only steals home falsely but now they steal insurance settlement checks !
AUTHOR: Diane - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Friday, May 07, 2004POSTED: Friday, May 07, 2004
Since I do not know the specifics of the fire loss, contents or structural Litton has no right to claim the intire insurance loss settlement check. In addition then pursue the foreclosure.
Have you contacted the attorney general of your state, insurance department, your insurance agent, Better Business Bureau and anyone else that may be able to help? I suggest you do.
Also there are support groups out there who can help guide you in your fight and there are a few class action lawsuits.
Check all of these posts here at RipOff they have much information to help, like posts from Robin in Arkansas, Marlene in FLorida, Kweku Hanson in CT and more.
Litton Loan and all the others think they walk on water but there is a God and their time is coming when they will pay the piper.
Feel free to check out our group at Yahoo, firstname.lastname@example.com and join. We may not be able to fix your particular situation immediately but we can help with support and other resources.
You are not alone in this fight, contact us go to the open forums, MSFraud.org, Contifairbankssucks.org and more.
May God bless and keep you safe.

Shinhan Financial Group Meen Whee Kim carded a 5-under 67 on Friday to maintain a one-shot lead over Robert Karlsson.
By PGA TOUR staff
LA QUINTA, Calif. — Meen Whee Kim carded a 5-under 67 on Friday to maintain his one-shot lead through the first three rounds of q-school, this after shooting a course-record tying 9-under 63 on Thursday.
Kim, 20, was at 18-under 131 and led Sweden's Robert Karlsson by one shot.
The top 25 and ties will earn PGA TOUR cards for the 2013 season. The next nearest-number-to-50 will earn fully exempt Web.com Tour cards for the first 10 events in 2013, and the remainder of the field will receive conditional Web.com Tour status.
Karlsson chalked up nine birdies en route to a 7-under 65 on the Nicklaus Tournament course. Karlsson struggled on the PGA TOUR in 2012, making only 11 cuts in 17 starts and finished No. 160 on the final money list. His best finish was a T17 at the World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship.
Vaughn Taylor finished his day eagle-birdie-bogey for a 3-under 69. Taylor is at 15-under 201 and T4. He finished T5 here a year ago to regain his PGA TOUR card for the 2012 season.
Meanwhile, Si Woo Kim carded a 71 to fall to 31st place. Kim, at 17 years, 5 months and 6 days on Monday, would be the youngest player ever to reach the PGA TOUR via q-school. In 2001, Ty Tryon became the youngest player to reach the TOUR via that route. He was 17 years, 6 months, 1 day old when he tied for 23rd.
Should Kim earn his card, though, he wouldn't be able to take up membership until June 28th of next year when he turns 18. He could play no more than 12 PGA TOUR events as a non-member on sponsor exemptions or Monday qualifiers prior to that date.
Camilo Villegas is making a charge to return to the TOUR. Villegas shot a third-round 66 to move into a tie for ninth place. In 2012, Villegas failed to finish inside the top 125 on the money list for the first time.
Among the players in danger of missing out on their cards: Billy Hurley III (T-44), Billy Mayfair (T-75), Shaun Micheel (T-75), Nick O'Hern (T-75), Tim Petrovic (T-75), Patrick Cantlay (T-108), Todd Hamilton (T-132) and Steve Flesch (T-149).

Just post anything - anything at all - that disputes or conflicts with their :Drink the Kool Aid" - Knight Templar love affair with Apple and they come streaming on with their junior high trash talk. Reality eludes them. They have earned their significant losses - which continue again today. When Doug Kass bought the stock for a trade which went to $590 and a handsome profit for him he was "the MAN"..When he sold it with a big profit and has subsequently gone negative and correctly so,he is the Devil Incarnate. Just how youn and uninformed is this long crew here. Market up 84 points and stock is still under distribution. What? Nobody knows about China Mobile - nobody knows about earnings (always runs up before :) )on the 23rd - nobody knows about ..... well ... anything. Only this crew and their oetulant insistence that it's aaaaaaal a big conspiracy and manipulation as to why the stock is down 26%.
O the lessons the uninformed and arrogant learn the hard way. Wail away youngins. You certainly paid a dear price for your hubris.
Troll alert. I'm betting you find a new hobby after Jan 22. Depending on how pathetic you are.
Sentiment: Buy
LOL :atray..." That's your response.?/ Wiped out does strange things to people. Makes them irrational - dismissive of reality etc. The earnings are the 23. Right? Perhaps I misread it. All you can come up with after a 26% spanking is "troll alert"? And I'm pathetic?? And yes,trading the Market when I see an opportunity is a hobby.. I've been very blessed and did well for myself and my family so I don't sweat this game at all. I don't think the same can be said for you. You come across with your trash talk as someone who played with scared money and lost. Not good. So save the petulent sarcasm and al.It only identifies you as who you are. Good luck to you thiough.Although it's probably alittle late for that.

I started with CRST 6/11/2009 and came home on time on 8/17/2009 me and my co-driver applied for home time to come home on or about 9/4/2009 and was told no home time that we need to check for another date after 9/15/2009 so in the meantime we had to ask for emergency home because my youngest child was ill and my mother was ill to. After I came home my mothers illness was worst and now she is at the point of dieing. And after talking to my dispatcher about it I was told that this is not a sympathy line and they are running a business and they expect their drivers to drive. shortly after that i was terminated.
Now I'm sent a bill within days of my termaination for the school, and I have sent applications to god I don't know how many companies and no calls. I'm going to check my DAC Report to see what they have put on there.

Michelle Branch; Ben Taylor Band
It's the attack of the Earnest Guitar-Strumming White People! On his debut with the band that bears his name, the aptly titled Famous Among the Barns, Ben Taylor sings, "I am the sun/That's all I've ever been since I begun/All I'll ever been until I'm done." But, people, it's called a double entendre: Taylor's the son of James Taylor and Carly Simon, so if you think all he's referring to is the big-ass star we revolve around, you've been reading too much US Weekly. The young singer-songwriter, at Gypsy Tea Room on Saturday night, has a voice that sounds pretty much exactly like his dad's and an earnest white-person groove that imagines a landlocked Jack Johnson. Famous (which features a rendition of "Time of the Season" that manages to replace the Zombies' innate sense of dread with pottery-throwing serenity) won't change Taylor's lot in life, but it'll make for a pleasant something to show the relatives at Christmas. I don't know if Michelle Branch's parents are famous; maybe her dad was Employee of the Month at the State Farm office in February. Similarly, I don't know what Hotel Paper, Branch's second album, due next month, sounds like, since I forgot to listen to it. But turn up to see her at Trees on Friday and marvel at her remarkable everydayness; The Spirit Room, her hit debut from 2001, convinced me that she's the nice-white-girl version of Ashanti--skilled, anonymous, eager to be whatever you want her to be.

Skip to comments.How to Blow Your Credit Limit -- Without Spending
Posted on 03/15/2009 11:42:38 AM PDT by Virginia Ridgerunner
If you haven't had the credit limit cut on your credit card recently, count yourself lucky. Risk-averse card issuers are getting slash happy. And while many cardholders gripe that such cuts slice razor-close to their balance amounts, for an unfortunate few the cuts go far deeper: below what they currently owe.
Under different circumstances, David Chaplin-Loebell wouldn't have minded that American Express cut his unlimited credit line to just $5,000. Except that when AmEx reduced his line in October, he had an outstanding balance of $10,000. "I found out by having a business purchase declined," he says. Repeated calls to AmEx failed to yield an answer about why the cut was made. Chaplin-Loebell, who lives in Philadelphia, is now paying the balance under his regular card terms, and presumes the line will free up for new purchases once he's below the limit. "For now, they've essentially frozen the account," he says, leaving him to juggle business expenses on his personal cards. American Express did not respond to requests for comment.

I'm guessing they think they are too big to fail and Odumbnuts will bail them out with "free" money.
I live within my means and pay my bills on time. I get credit card offers in the mail all the time.
Amex sends me pretty much one piece of junk mail every day. I trash every bit of it.
I closed the corporate AmEx account a while back when this all first started. I just had a friend yesterday try to pay a $2000 flight bill with his corporate AmEx but had it declined even though he had been spending ten times that each month and paying it every month without fail and had only used about $10k so far this month. He had another card to use but the entire flight trip might have had issues if that had happened during the trip.
We're having a heck of a time where I work. We use AmEx business cards and AmEx is not only changing rules and limits day to day, they're also not operating very efficiently. Payments made aren't showing up in a timely manner, etc. What do you think is up with that?
Wonder if they are having funding problems. With their margins, it is hard to imagine, but I guess it is time to terminate the relationship, before they do. I really only used it for merchants I didn't like.
Problem is, in business, you HAVE to use them, especially if you travel, since everything is done by credit card these days. Cash is not an option when it comes to making airline or hotel reservations if you need to go somewhere for a meeting or conference with a client.
My four credit card bills ( Discover, MC, 2 Visa) all arrived within the last week ). I always pay them off in full every month. Have never had a finance charge. Oddly, this month ALL four sent me notices that they were INCREASING my credit line..Go figure..
Various Credit Card Companies are really the unsuspected causes of GLOBAL WARMING. I and millions of others daily received unasked for envelopes, full of paper offering FABULOUS deals on new credit cards. We also received envelopes stuffed with Credit Card Company CHECKS, to used "When and As needed".
All this paper must be SHREDDED in shredders that consume increasing amounts of electricity etc etc etc.
The above referring to Credit Card companies is TRUE.
The above reference to Global warming....I'm kidding.
Chase pays 1-2% cashback and gives great service if you have good credit.

It is my fault. I use credit cards for convenience - like a debit card - and traditional banks for (secured, lower-rate) loans. I keep the credit limit very low, put the balance temporarily into the black for purchases over the limit, and never pay interest or fees. The credit card companies thus only derive from me indirect revenue via retailer/merchant fees/commission.
I am prepared to atone for my sins - send me the tax bill, destroy the value of my savings. I should have never learned addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
To lower your limit and then charge you fees for being over the new limit sounds like a reasonable time to get a lawyer.
Which card or program - they have hundreds of them.
I use cash for hotels/motels all the time.
I have had issues with AMEX,too. They claimed they had not received a payment while I was on an overses trip, called and harassed my wife, later apologized for not having posted a $1,500 payment properly. When I got back to the uSA, I cancelled their card.
Would not do business with them EVER again.
Three years later, a rep called and wanted me to open an account, and was shocked when I told him I'd rather vote Democrat!

My Visa accounts are through my credit union. Much more favorable terms. And they don't treat me like I have herpes.
The guy carrying a balance is a credit risk!
HSBC are crooks and should be out out of business (the market should do that, not government)
Such a shame as that was the original intent. The Cash/Credit price is starting to come back.
It's not happening to me, so it can't be true!
As long as you keep paying, you'll likely see the limits raised often. It's not necessarily a good thing. A little identity theft or an irresponsible family member can put you in a world of hurt very quickly. Lower limits aren't necessarily bad.
No, they want to chase their highest risk customers away. They did pretty well before they became a credit card company.
"Such a shame as that was the original intent"
No way!
It's a convience card, if you don't have the money in the bank don't use it!
This is less the "evil" credit card companies than them being caught between a rock an a hard place. The exception is AMEX, which is in very deep trouble because of its *banking* activities, and may fold because of them.
The problem lies in the fact that while the CC companies make a few billion dollars a year profit, that amount is tiny compared to the many billions of dollars they need to *borrow* to cover their cardholders debt.
They do this by issuing bonds. And they issue a lot of bonds. But right now, this puts them in competition with everybody else who wants investment dollars, especially the US government Treasury bills.
And because the government is on a spending spree, for the first time in a long time, something odd happened. The CC companies issued a bond, and nobody bought it. A bond failure. Instantly, this meant that the CC companies were in deep trouble.
What we are seeing right now is their reaction to just that *one* bond failure. Canceling inactive cards, and lowering credit limits. The CC companies trying to reduce their exposure, so they will be able to cover bondholder debt.
Importantly, they are also cutting those who always pay their bills on time, because they make very little profit for the CC companies compared to those that have some debt. And because card holders are lumped into "classes", even if you are a good customer, if you are in a bad class, you can get cut as well.
But this shows a major threat in the future. Unless the US government stops spending money at a furious rate, more CC bond issues may fail, and with them, many people will lose their credit cards entirely. Since millions of Americans are dependent on their credit cards to meet their monthly expenses, they will be unable to pay rent or make other purchases.
The CC companies have little latitude in this, because even their profits can only cover a fraction of cardholder debt. They may even be forced into "card holidays", where for the last few days of the month, suddenly nobody's credit card works.
With the possible, but not definite, exception of a mortgage — I'll never borrow another nickel. It is somewhat freeing ... and I couldn't care less what my credit report says.
I am as anti-regulation as any conservative — but it is truly time to crack down on credit card companies. I fail to see how it is legal to unilaterally alter the contractual terms on money already lent. Once the money is lent and the purchase is made, the contract should be locked — no changing limits, repayment terms, interest rates, etc. without the written authorization of the borrower.
What is this "balance amount"?
American Express and Citi may be the worse card companies to deal with.
Years ago I conducted focus groups in the meeting rooms of nice restaurants 3-4 evenings a week. The monthly bills for the dinners were often in the 5 figure range which were paid in full each month when I received the bill.
One time I had refund from one of the restaurants for an error on their part re my billing, and they credited AMX. The credit was received by AMX a couple of weeks before my bill was sent out by AMX.
I received the bill and the credit had not been applied. So I contacted them and subtracted the amount of the uncredited refund and paid the full bill, again over 5 figures.
AMX ended up charging me interest for the full amount as they said I hadn't paid my bill in full. It took a couple of months for the credit to finally be entered by AMX. That cost me money that I didn't owe them. My CPA said to over pay the next bill by 13.33 and never use the card again. She said that billing had to cost them a nice sum. That was my first experience dealing with someone in India on the phone. I never got an apology nor a refund for the insult and basic unarmed robbery on their part.
Someone called Rush last week and commented that his interest rates on his credit cards were jacked up even though he was paying his bills regularly (I presume not paying the whole amount but enough to cover the minimum).
Rush's answer was that they were sending the caller a message to close the account.
I had two accounts with Citibank with rates of 7.9% and 4.9%. I was gradually transferring money from the higher card to the lower card when, suddenly in January, they rose each card by 9% while asking Congress for bailout money.
I was able to move the money I had in these accounts without a great deal of damage but I feel sorry for the people who had no fallback strategy. I've gradually pared down a $15,000 debt to below $6,000 and I hope to have it whittled down to zero within two years unless the Democrats further tank the economy.
We've also had problems with AMEX. My husband's employer has them use AMEX for expense account items. He is supposed to submit his expense account monthly and the payment goes directly to AMEX. He made the mistake of getting behind on his in-house paperwork and paid the AMEX bill from our personal funds before submitting his expenses for approval. When he submitted the corporate expenses, they also paid AMEX, so now AMEX has approximately $3,000 in overpayment on his account. He has tried repeatedly to get reimbursement from AMEX for the overpayment, and every time he talks to them, they seem unable to process the English language. Unlike you, he's not talking to someone in India. He's been talking to someone in Philadelphia. In his case, it appears to be a series of Affirmative Action hires who don't know much and aren't very willing. I've been bugging him about it, and now that I'm hearing rumblings (above) that AMEX may be in trouble, I'll really insist on it.
What makes you they speak English in Philadelphia?
I've often thought that an enterprising person could get himself on so many junk mailing lists that he could have his winter fuel delivered for free all winter long. Those big, free catalogs make a very cheery, and long lasting flame.
I know you are joking about global warming, but it's really a problem. I can't remember where I did it, but I did get myself removed from the mailing list for unsolicited loan and credit car offers, which cut some of my junk mail, but I still get other junk by the boxful every week. If we can prosecute spammers (I can delete spam), why can't we get off the list for grocery ads, local coupons, and catalogs? I'm not an eco-nut, but that can't be good for trees.
Don't insult scum like that.
He should have all of his credit cut off for having a hyphenated name.
In our community we have "Recycle Bank". Our recyclable trash gets weighed, and we receive electronic credit by the pound. As we accumulate points, they can be redeemed for coupons, such as 25% off a $20 purchase at our local drug store. I've been less motivated to get off of junk mail lists since we went on the point program, and when I see empty glass bottles and jars, I bring them home to put in my trash!
I did the opt out of credit card mailings. I now have several hundred less pieces of junk mail per year.
Love it.
Cut them up, cut them off....ASAP!!
The Law of Unintended Consequences strikes again. Sign up for more junk mail!! Get rewarded with more Recycle Points!!

No other scientific subject generates as much suspicion and mistrust among lay people as evolutionary biology. A good deal of the confusion about evolutionary biology stems from its being labeled 'Darwinism' or 'neo-Darwinism'. The term has been injected into public debate by people who object to evolution by natural selection, so as to make the latter look like an ideological position rather than a well-established fact.
Evolutionary biology is the only scientific field subjected to this kind distortion. Modern chemistry is nowhere imputed to be neo-Lavoisierism; one never sees quantum mechanics described as neo-Einsteinism; and I have yet to hear anyone say that modern psychology is so much neo-Jamesianism or mere Wundtism.
Evolutionary biology is not an ideology; it is one of many specialized branches in the general field of biology. Like their colleagues in other sciences, evolutionary biologists adhere to the most rigorous processes in collecting and examining data, and in testing and explaining their findings.
When casting doubt on the blind, undirected, non-designed force of natural selection, anti-evolutionists (who are ideologues) present questions and arguments and descriptions that seem informed by the most recent literature on the subject. But if you turn to peer-reviewed scholarship or read a plain language text by a scientist who has dedicated her professional life to a particular line of research, you will find that the propositions advanced by the critics are inaccurate and the questions they raise irrelevant or already explained.
Although the literature on the subject is too great to summarize here, it is right that people ask a couple of basic questions about evolution in order to determine its explanatory force.
What are the features of evolution?
Evolutionary biology is based on the idea of evolution. Central to the idea of evolution is that species undergo genetic change over a period of time. This happens over many generations, and during that time a species can evolve into something different. The changes are based on mutations in DNA, which is conditioned by environmental and other physical factors. When scientists say that mutation is random, they do not mean arbitrary. They mean random in the literal sense of a set of probable outcomes based on a particular set of conditions. The operative force here is natural selection, which Darwin describes in a perfectly succinct way in The Origin of Species:
"Man selects only for his own good: Nature only for that of the being which she tends."
Natural selection requires that individuals within a species vary genetically so as to survive and reproduce in their environment. They must adapt in a way that makes them fit for the struggle of existence within their environment, and they must be able to pass on their genes if their form of life is to continue down the line.
Another tenant of evolution is gradualism. It takes a great deal of time for substantial evolutionary changes to appear—hundreds of thousands or even millions of years in most cases. When someone makes the claim that no one has ever seen evolution, they are right. It would be impossible for anyone to do so. Though there have been cases of minor changes occurring within a human lifetime, the really big evolutionary changes take place over a long period of time.
A final tenant of evolution is speciation. This is the phenomenon of a species splitting. Whenever two populations evolve genetic differences to the point that they can no longer interbreed, speciation occurs. Jerry A. Coyne, a leading expert in this particular field, says it best:
"Speciation doesn't happen very often. But each time one species splits into two, it doubles the number of opportunities for future speciation, so the number of species can rise exponentially."
What is the evidence for evolution?
Genetic science gives ample evidence of the interrelation of all living species. This alone would suggest the common ancestry of animal life. However, the fossil record offers the kind of documentary evidence that most people need in order to form a mental picture of how evolution has worked throughout history.
In Darwin's day, the fossil record was thin. Since then, it has become much more robust. The sequence of rock strata that have been unearthed proves that early life was simple, and that more complex species appeared over time. The many fossils that have been dug up over the past century show one species of animal or plant changing into something different. Each fossil is found exactly where one would expect to find it in the rock strata.
The human body itself bolsters the case for evolution. We are filled with remnants of our primate ancestry. Our bodies show little sign of intelligent design, but rather the clunky adaptations of a physically weak primate struggling to survive in the African savannah. Our sense of smell is very poor compared to our cousins in the wild. We intake food and drink through the same orifice through which we breathe—an arrangement bound to lead to constant choking. And in one of the more curious developments in our bodies, we expunge our waste through the same organ through which we pro-create: which is akin, as one observer put it, to running a sewer system through an amusement park.
Another interesting vestige of our evolutionary past is the phenomenon known as the furry fetus. At six months, the human fetus becomes completely covered with a coat of hair. This lanugo, as it's called, is shed about a month before birth and replaced by the short, sparse, evenly distributed hair that we keep throughout our life. Monkeys also develop a coat of hair at about the same stage of embryonic development. The human womb is warm enough to keep its fetus safe, so that is not a sound explanation for this sudden growth of hair. The best explanation is that the lanugo is a remnant of our primate ancestry.
