“I pressed 0 for customer service, and I let them know what was going on. The guy advised me that he couldn't speak to me because I wasn't the account holder. He had to talk to Hunter, and when I told him that Hunter was 5 years-old he continued to say that I couldn't talk to him, he had to talk to Hunter,” Addy said.

This is awesome. Open CC accounts for your kids (while you can), by the time they're 18 they'll have years of stellar credit history.

I like this sentence from the article: "For about a month and a half, every month we'd get a new one, and a new one, and a new one,”
Huh??  :o
