One comment so far

I own a small business for 11 years. Bank of American froze my line of credit which was approved by the SBA. They increased my credit card interest rate to 20% from 4.99%. I am having hard time keeping the door open.

Wells Fargo, cut my line of credit to almost 1/2 the amount without prior notice or reason.

I am just paying the interest now. It consume 70% of my profit. I never missed a payment to any lender so far.
