With aggressive marketing, Mexican banks offer credit cards to customers without asking any questions.

But interest rates are notoriously high.

An estimated three million people have fallen deep into credit card debts.

Al Jazeera’s Frank Contreras reports from Mexico City.

These morons have no one to blame but their retarded selves. Same goes for ANYONE with unmanageable credit card debt, or an unmanageable mortgage. These fuckups are the reason we’re in the giant financial mess we’re in today. If you can’t do simple math, here’s a suggestion: pour yourself a nice tall glass of Liquid Drano and chug it down as fast as you can. It’ll fix all your problems.

wow. that idiot in the begining actualy used it to lend money to family. people love to blame the banks but they are actualy makng it simple. its not hard to understand that if you dont pay it back right away you must pay interest.

LOL you think I believe in Biblical fairytales. I don’t believe in god.

I am certainly not in debt to Jewish banks or anyone. Also the Chinese and Russians are the better business lenders.

with that kind of attitude it’s no wonder jews were kicked out of every country they were in.

I refuse to recognize Barack Hussein Obama as President of the United States of America because he is not a natural born citizen and therefore ineligible according to the U.S. Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court refuses to even discuss the many lawsuits filed by Philip J. Berg, Alan Keyes and many others. The media refuses to discuss it. Just watch some of the videos on my page. If you agree that the U.S. Supreme court should hear the facts and make a ruling then sign our POLL and “Friend Us”hy

PauloGVieira on 4 February, 2009 at 11:50 pm #

Yes sir, now bend over whilst the EU sticks another ***** up Israel’s ***. How does that feel?

PauloGVieira on 12 February, 2009 at 11:08 pm #

This is certainly no Mexico phenomena - it happens all over the world.


leepakim on 13 February, 2009 at 12:16 pm #

stupid customers. NOBODY forced them to get the credit cards. it just shows that many people still dont know how to manage their (financial) life.


PauloGVieira on 14 February, 2009 at 9:10 pm #

Idiot - for a people who have suffered historically from persecution you certainly have no qualms exacting the same treatment on another people. Your god must be so proud!

i was in tijuana this weekend and i pasted by an advertisement for a visa at a local bank. the rate was 45 percent. could not believe it was that high…. i knew that cc interest rate was high but not that high.

FUK U WHITE ****** FUK

The sad thing about this, is that we had to rescue these banks from banruptcy (they were not really broken) ten years ago with the money of our taxes. Then, they gave the banks to foreign countries, now they charge int rates like 70%. Unbelievable, that’s why i am thinking not to use banks never and most mexicans should do the same to teach them a lesson. But, the worst part is you need a credit card to get services like cell phones and so on, it’s a dead alley and we are too deep into it.


TheWayISeeIt1982 on 22 February, 2009 at 4:24 pm #

70 PERCENT!!!!! What The Hell!!!


trisodium777 on 24 February, 2009 at 1:49 am #

Look, I was engaged to my ex-wife for five years before getting wed. We wanted to wait until after we were married to have ***** to ****** ***********. So for five years we only had **** ***********. This occurred three times a day - so much so I have permanent ring stains around my crank, and no girl will perform oral love on me because of the repugnant *** smell. It; stinks so bad I forget and wipe my crank after having a dump. But that’s not to say we didn’t go through some hard times.


trisodium777 on 27 February, 2009 at 11:05 am #

When she contracted amoebic dysentery, for a week we had to lay out plastic sheeting in the back yard and wear dirt bike glasses. It was intimate, like having **** *********** with a bucket of putrid mud. But those are the times you remember in a relationship.
