Money, Credit Cards upset about late fees and over limit fees

My beef is with all the credit card company's that think it's their right to charge people a late fee or an over the limit fee. Shouldn't it be a privilegde for them to have us as customers and earn interest on our money. I don't know where they get off charging people who are struggling already, late fee and over limit fees. Don't they know that if these people could, they too would love to pay their credit card off in full each month. I didn't want to use credit cards in my life ever, but I'm building a small business and they can come in handy when it comes time to either pay a supply bill or buy food. Plus in todays world you have to have credit; good or bad but, it is a neccessary evil. I think it is about time for the people who are getting slapped across the face with these unneccassary fees to stand up and not take it any more. Refuse to pay your bills unless these penelties for punishing the poor are lifted. All people out there who are struggling and being hit with these punishments, don't pay your credit card bills for the next three months and see how fast these fees are waved and done away with. It's time we stood up and took back our privilegdes.
