I'm not dense, we're just talking about different things. Nowhere
heretofore was it said "after this" and "after that". I am, of course,
talking about "before this" and "before that". IOW what's happening in
the real world and the reason why Congress tightened up the bankruptcy
laws and all.
Perhaps you were trying to be funny (and failing I might add) but many
of the things listed above are illegal. You do know that don't you?

No business does this. Why should CC companies?

But extremely difficult to find in the real world. Name another company
that does what you propose as opposed to simply raise their prices and
I'll show you a company that will soon be out of business...

Banks, Car companies and their associated loan arms, contractors,
plumbers, doctors, lawyers, department stores. In short any business
extending credit. Granted you never know if they really can't or won't
pay their bills just as you don't really know ahead of time that the
eventual CC deadbeats can't or won't pay their bills.
