The Opportunity Divide Thoughts

After reading the article “the poverty business” I feel a variety of different emotions towards people with bad credit and the creditors. My first reaction towards the first story, reading about Roxanne made me feel sympathetic how not just car dealer ships but other companies take advantage, manipulate, and misinform customers who want to buy a product. Customers like Roxanne and relatives of mine have been victims in many types of situation by later realizing just exactly what they have got into, when it is already too late and the damage to their credit has already been done. I believe credit is an unnecessary thing that we shouldn’t have to use and deal with. I think it is unfair that we are being judged by a number and this effects our ability to buy a car or a house etc.,.

I also believe that Check Into Cash and Cash Advance Centers are a  rip off and not worth it for the high interest rates they charge. These companies take advantage of the need for cash in advance and exploit their customers. Someone from the passage stated “I don’t know whether I was more bothered by the ignorance of the customers or by the company taking advantage of the ignorance of the customers,” I strongly agree with this quote because it is the customers responsibility to be well informed of what they are getting to and contracts they are signing although, I am well aware that in most cases people fall victims to Cash Advance because they have no other choice. For the people who fall in debt because of their lack of not knowing exactly what they are getting into, I believe it is preventable and not the Company’s fault. The companies are wrong for doing these things but I mean today in this generation you have to hustle for your money and get it in every way possible.
