Lately though Bank of America and Capital One have been jacking APR 2-3x what the normal rate used to be. If you send a letter, given they accept it, that you decline this increase, it will stay what it is but you cannot use it or you'll get the new rate. Alternatives of course would be to pay it off if you can or use a balance transfer. These banks went through a lot of mergers and I have a feeling they are broke and need their money back. One way or another they're going to get money out of you sooner than later. I don’t like the idea of my name being used because that puts a target on your back.
