I doubt it seriosuly AO.

If they were they'd be making better deals on the bikes.

I went in yesterday to see what they'd give me on a trade for a new bike. They offered to lower my intrest rate and stretch the payment out to 7 or 8 years. Would have gotten it to a sizable payment for years...

Would have also probably gotten me a divorce at this stage in the game. I had to walk. If they were going belly up the offer would have been stronger.

That title is completely misleading. My advice is to pay your bill on time and you won't have to get calls asking you for late fees.
