One family found that their 6-year-old son was getting offers for pre-approved credit cards, so they filled one out for him as a joke, with all the legitimate info, date of birth social security, and income ($0)...The card arrived a few days later.

  • 1st!

    when I was six, the only cards I had were the ones I clothes-pinned to my bike spokes to get that mean-ass sound.

  • I'm confused - what does a 6 yr old getting a visa card have to do with a recession?

  • Means that the creditors are so hard up for people to place in debt that they will give credit(slavery) to any one. Especially now in this recession.

  • that's nothing

    i have three cousins all under 17 (16, 10, and 5) who get electric bills, cell phone bills, and car payments mailed to my parents house. (where my aunt, their mother, lived)

  • Just because they gave a credit card to a 6 year old doesn't mean they won't come after them for payments.

    Even if they filled out the forms for a joke, it'll be serious as a heart attack when the bills for it come in demanding payment.

    It just means that they'll give anyone a credit card,but not everyone can afford to pay for one.

  • I wonder what his credit limit was. If it was like $10 this story would be even funnier.

  • I hate money lenders.
    In many advanced societies throughout history, they held some of the lowest rungs on the social ladder.
    May they all die of terminal, intestine-expelling diarrhea, like the gutter-sucking dung beetles they are.

  • If anyone is able to get credit cards, they can rack up debt. If this debt isn't paid off, the credit card companies go bankrupt, inflation, high interest rates, etc. Just in the same way that the housing market went to shit - when anyone could get a loan and it never got paid off. Which creates recession.
