Twitter is abuzz with credit card statement tweets
Around about the third week of January the soft thud of credit card envelopes echoes around the country. OK, so most people get their bills online but we don’t let the facts get in the way of a good bit of imagery.
Christmas may be a distant memory now but the credit card companies don’t forget that easily. This week we’ve seen loads of people go to Twitter to bemoan their January credit card bills…
Many were worried about looking at their bill:

Those that did summon up the courage to open their statements didn’t always have a happy experience:
