Along with that article was reporting on the growing default rate of Braziians on these cards. The record sales by Brasil's retailers last Christmas were fueled by these cards. I am amazed at how quickly the debts on these cards doubled. Most of my friends will have nothing to do with credit cards. - Adrian Erik Mon, 18 Aug 2008 15:03:30 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/9786/1/#pc_16292 new slave class. ;) Be careful people..

No doubt it is World Record. But Brazil loves to be ranked first, or last if the rankings are inversed. :D ;D :D ;D - ch.c. Mon, 18 Aug 2008 12:39:09 +0100
