INTRO: DON’T LET BAD CARDS BREAK YOU
Store and credit cards aren’t supposed to trap you in sneaky fees and crazy interest rates. But guess what? They do — and it’s time you spot the tricks before you get stuck. Know the signs, protect your wallet, and take control.
MIS-SELLING DRAMA: WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU
- No clear word on interest rates or how much you actually owe — shady!
- Pressured into buying extra insurance or random add-ons you didn’t ask for.
- Promises of card perks that are all hype, zero real value.
- Credit limits set way too high — putting you in deep trouble.
DO YOU HAVE A CLAIM? LET’S FIND OUT
Ready to fight back? You’ve got grounds if:

- You were pushed into a card you didn’t want or can’t afford.
- The lender didn’t check if you could really pay it back — total fail.
- Your card bundled hidden charges or sneaky services you didn’t sign up for.
