Shitty Bank part II

Shitty bank (Citibank).
They say you should look at your credit report once a year. So one day I sat down with a nice cup of green tea and looked at my credit report.

I have a hand full of credit cards. Most of my accounts are closed or inactive. Nothing looked bad or strange until I got to shitty bank and found that they check my credit every month.

Why?

oh really?!? i didn't know citibank does this .. i have an acct with them, i wonder why they bother with my credit card, it's not like they're gonna make money off me.

Nam Lamore- I wonder if they do this with everyone or if they feel they compromised my account and are checking to see if they need to notify me. I have not used the card in years so I know that I have not been the cause of any problems. It seems like every week a credit institution is forced to admit their security sucks.

this post was actually the inspiration for my 'fine print in footnote' post -- i'm sure you saw how transparent that was!

inspiration? does that make me the Muse of the day?

of course, though i understand that to lavish gifts on a muse would be considered insult .. thus, i will just part with 'thank you'!
