No, at least not yet. The Wells Fargo thing has never been a big enough issue to bother with the hassle of a lawyer. I did charge at least $500 on the card, so they are entitled to that money. If it comes to the point where they want me to pay $500 plus a boatload of interest plus an over-limit amount and fee (tell me how a *secure* card is allowed to go over the limit?), then it may be worth getting a lawyer. In fact, I haven't heard from them in so long it may have been fixed or it's just expired and gone away. As for Target, they have not yet been a large enough PITA. They are getting there though. (NOTE: They tried the same thing with my wife, and we nipped that in the bud.) Probably the next time they call and I talk to them I'll threaten them with a lawsuit, which 99% of the time I have done such thing has stopped the harassment and made the offender fix their screw-up. There are other things on my credit rating that give me a poor report, so fixing these two would be inconsequential at this point (unless I fixed them all). > > Other times it's not worth the legal fees it would take to get a lawyer > involved, and it's just a matter of letting it expire by itself. > Exactly. Even when on the winning side, it's often more trouble than it was worth. PGA -- Paul G.
