After the loan was disbursed, I called this lady again asking about the EMI figure. She said it’s for 15.5%. I reminded about the deal she had offered.

February 24, 2007

How many calls do you receive from banks every day/ week? Irrespective of the number, bank calls sometimes are as annoying as blank calls. Most of the callers [banks] want to know if I need a credit card. Any answer wouldn’t stop them from talking further. I would say, most of them won’t even listen [...]

Check out, just in case: What is the difference between Gold Cards, Classic Cards and Platinum? Whenever you have given an upgrade, it is always a good idea to take it?
