Does the industry look less predatory if it charges a stiff interest rate for a frivolous weekend than if it charges the same interest rates to a single mother looking to buy groceries?

You have got to be kidding me? The sad thing is some people will fall for this…just like they fall for paying off your unsecured credit card debt by placing a 2nd, 3rd, if not 4th secured mortgage on your house.
