66. Beware of Greeks (especially Wells Fargo) bearing gifts.

I've had nothing but headaches with those assholes since they took over Wachovia and my mortgage. For three years running, they've been trying to make me buy forced place insurance, even though I'm over-insured by everything the mortgage agreement calls for.

Make that four years. I got the new letter last week. Here we go again.

My wife has a credit card with them, that we hadn't used in years. No balance in probably five years. In November we put $1600 on it to cover what we didn't have in cash for new laminate floors. We paid it off in two months, and I got a letter from them yesterday, jacking our interest rate up 30%. Never use that card again.
