    Default $1 paper statement fee now on many store credit cards

    World Finacial, which is a company which you don't hear much about, yet they issue dozens of store credit cards. They now started charging $1.00 monthly fees for paper statements on reportedly almost all of their cards. I don't know all of them off hand, but I believe they issue over thirty different store cards in the article I read about it.

    Default That's pretty incredible...

    keep your eye out for inactivity fees on your major cards and be ready to call and cancel if they aren't rescinded.

    I think rather than inactivity fees, we'll just start seeing accounts canceled by the issuer if they're not being used. We already saw a lot of that in '09.

    I heard this practice of charging $1 for paper statements was discontinued because of all the outcry. Can anyone confirm this?

    Beepbop, I believe you are right. I recall seeing something about that not too long ago too. With World Financial not having a public website though it is hard to confirm what's going on with them.
