Maxed Out

I found this website link in the book Maxed Out.

Americans For Fairness In Lending
It has some interesting info and accepts comments from members.

they're also making a documentary with that title. I have no idea when it comes out, but when it does it's being added to my Netflix list.

Some one, I am pretty sure baselle, wrote about it in her blog. She went and saw the documentary, so it is already out. She reccommends it to everyone.

I think my disdain for the CC companies is well known!

I've also heard about this movie and have been told it's very good. I look forward to checking it out soon.

This could be interesting, however I have found most "documentaries" to be rather biased toward a certain point of view. Most of them scan the American landscape to seek out people and situations that help to make their argument and support their point of view. They usually end up playing the victim card and say nothing about personal responsibility. In our case, this film probably makes no or very little reference to people like us that use credit responsibly or that save up an EF for unforseen situations. But, I would like to watch it and see what it's all about.
