    It’s not just risk (negative income fot them), it is also the potential gain.

    A guy that gets stuck in debt via overdraft all the time, but manages to scrounge just enough extra income to pay it off, is a gold-mine for them.

      I received a letter that my capital one credit card account was going to be closed because I haven’t used it in a year or two. They don’t like people who don’t use the cards or pay them off every month. It ends up costing them money
