Maxed Out takes viewers on a journey deep inside the American style of debt, where things seem fine as long as the minimum monthly payment arrives on time. With coverage that spans from small American towns all the way to the White House, the film shows how the modern financial industry really works, explains the true definition of "preferred customer" and tells us why the poor are getting poorer while the rich keep getting richer. Hilarious, shocking and incisive, Maxed Out paints a picture ...

Yes it sucks but you agree to the terms of the contract. I am debt free myself. If you cant handle the basic reponsibility of credit then you are a fool and deserve what you get. It amazes me how many american’s blame someone else for their own mistakes.
It comes from the word maximum. It means that one has spent the maximum amount of credit given by a bank or credit card company, usually beyond their means to pay back.
-Be careful when marrying someone that is an illegal immigrant. It can be difficult to know if they are marrying for a love or a green card.
-Never co-sign a credit card/car with a lover or spouse.
-Avoid mixing any fiances or legal issues together.
i think if everybody in america would stop paying for the credit cards at the same time ,things would change for the better. hey when all the jobs are gone no one will be working anyway to pay all the bills,so what if you get takin to court. im telling you people you have not even begun to see the worst of it.
It is so ridiculously bias -Read this: It starts out with Carter portrayed in good light, some small negative clips of Clinton and the rest It’s all about Bush. Funny this movie was made in 2006. Now we have a Dem Gov, House and Congress and we are spending the equivalent of all the president’s debt including G.W.B put together. Democrats are bigger spenders than Republicans? It talked about the sub-prime mortgage business as an endless money maker so what happened? Dems are responsible for it
i just finished seeing it because someone recommended it. I thought it was just bias propaganda. I do not like how harsh some C.C companies can become but, no one is forced into that situation. When you get a credit card you need to pay back. Simple concept ha? Well some people think the government should make sure they are responsible and they should not carry the burden of their mistakes. Why I ask? I still don’t get it.
if u default or unable to pay your card off..u don’t have to. credit card company or the banksters will zero ur debt and by law they will write your debt out …the banks loss is covered by insurance and they get tax credit. then they sell ur rights to collection agencies or debt collectors for every 10 cents on a$.u got 2 know the statute of limitation some states varies from 3to6yrs.if they threatened u 2 pay within that time frame than u lost ur stat of limitation and these maggot got u
Americans don’t have to use these credit cards you know. If you get one in the post, your not forced to use it!!! Grow up and take some responsibility.

All lending decisions are made made by credit scores alone.They don’t care how much money you make or job security.Thats why we have so many bad loans. if we just go by a number and not look at amount of money he makes or the assets he may have or job security anyone with 700credit score can get a loan for 800,000$ even thou he makes only 3000$ a month.
I have this film. It’s fantastic. I never realized what kind of low-life, bottom-feeding maggot scum comprise the credit card industry. Sure there are decent cards, but that’s about 1% of the total. Want to know why the economy is tanked? See this film! This country is overrun with money-grubbing parasites that will do anything to put anyone into debt. Anyone!
The best favor you can do is pay off your cards and cancel them. Use your debit card. Do anything but carry revolving debt. It’s a SCAM!
