Bill attacks credit card fine print
State Rep. Teddy Edmonds prides himself on being a smart credit consumer.
"I've got a Visa card that I've had since 1969," the Jackson Democrat said last week. "In 37 years I've never paid one penny of interest or late fee or penalty."
But in what he calls "a weak moment" during a trip to Louisville two years ago, Edmonds signed up for a department store credit card to get $10 off on two pairs of Levi's and a tie.
Instead, he said, he got a bill six weeks later with a $25 late charge. He swears he never saw an earlier bill.
