When Dmitry Argarkov was sent a letter offering him a credit card, he found the rates not to his liking.

But he didn't throw the contract away or shred it. Instead, the 42-year-old from Voronezh, Russia, scanned it into his computer, altered the terms and sent it back to Tinkoff Credit Systems.

Mr Argarkov's version of the contract contained a 0pc interest rate, no fees and no credit limit. Every time the bank failed to comply with the rules, he would fine them 3m rubles (£58,716). If Tinkoff tried to cancel the contract, it would have to pay him 6m rubles.....[[url= http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance/borrowing/creditcards/10231556/Man-who-created-own-credit-card-sues-bank-for-not-sticking-to-terms.html?fb ]continued[/url]]

I wouldn't want to tweek the whiskers of the powers that be in Russia, he is liable to end up with a hole where his brain should be.

Tinkoff bunch of twunts for unpleasant tweets during the TDF this year..

[i]The first sign of cracks became clear when Tinkov posted a series of bizarre and sometimes offensive tweets during the Tour de France. Some were sexist, racist and homophobic in nature; in one message, he said that he’d consider switching his money into a women’s team instead.

“Fresca [fresh] idea: to sponsor women's cycling team, definitely win all for this budget, plus you can chose only long legs sluts into the team :-)” he wrote on July 15th.

When that message was challenged by a Twitter reader, Tinkov responded by questioning his sexual orientation.

Not a bunch of... a singular person. Oleg is a loose cannon but he does have a valid point about Contador

Why is it fraud ? he sent a changed contract to the bank and they accepted it, if they thought it was unreasonable they should have rejected it.

He only ran up a £300 odd debt, so not as if he abused it to badly

I may be wrong but it's not his document to change, or possibly even copy.

i'm still glad he did it. I used to just send them back in the accompanying SOE but recently they've made the envelopes smaller and won't fit. Bastards. 😆

It is a contract, you can change whatever you want, if they accept your changed terms they have to stick with them
