Today's mail included an envelope from my credit card company, marked "Account Information Enclosed." This being about bill-time, I opened it to find a(nother) round of "blank checks"--or as we call them, "shredder food." Granted, throwing them directly into the trash could be bad, so it's just as well that I didn't blow the envelope off. But "account information"? Seriously?
Now, it doesn't sound like the big banks have too many problems these days, but a trust deficit is definitely one of them. Direct-mail chicanery doesn't help. And if a bank's business model relies--even partially--on gullibility and impulsiveness, do I really want to do business with it? Just sayin'...
