heh..one of my mother's friends did something similar...
She was on welfare, a single mother of 9!!!! perpetually unemployed, the complete and total classic case against welfare system..
Anyway, one day she gets the bright idea...her daughter collected every credit application she could...they filled them out, upwards of about 60 credit cards. In the end, i think she was only accepted for 30 or so, but it was enough that she had almost $100K in credit...in 1 month, she maxed them all out on stuff like TV's, computers (1992, they weren't cheap) stereos, cd players, whatever she could get. i think she ended up somehow charging a bit over 100,000 ot them in total..then claimed bankruptcy...
Her lack of employment got her out of even a monthly payment and all of her debts were forfeited..she has HOOORRRRIIBBBLLLLEEEE credit now and lives wtih 4 of her children in some trailer somewhere.
that stuff is just aggravating..even on welfare, she bought more expensive stuff than my 2 working parents could afford...
