    If you are getting a 29% interest rate it’s because

    That’s credit card interest…

    And we’re talking about credit cards…

    At least I am, and everyone else. Because this is the comment section of an article about credit cards.

    If you’re talking about something else, maybe you should let people know? Or at least be understanding when others can’t read your mind.

      I’m talking about all types of credit, including a line of credit like a credit card. It’s unsecured so the rate is way higher. If you capped the rate on credit cards then people who are higher credit risk won’t be given credit.

      People who are credit worthy get spammed with all sorts of credit card offers for low APR cards. With an high 700-800 credit score you could score a line of credit at 10% APR but you’d have to go to a bank or credit union to get it.
