[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never mind the credit cards. The ignorance of the people commenting here is astounding.
If an Au Pair is able to open a card, it's between them and the card issuer. Everybody else needs to stay out, including State Department.
She might be able to get a secured card, and we know what that means, right?! There's no fraud, she can only charge as much as the collateral.
It's the credit issuers job to keep card users accountable. Whether they committed a fraud at some point or not, is decided in the court, not on DCUM.[/quote]

While I agree with this, the sad part is that the government does turn away visa applicants because of debts, inability to show they can support themselves here and a whole list of requirements that means the State Dept is involved in a visa applicants or holders finances. I think au pairs need to be treated less like family members and more like visa holders and adults who live with a family. I do not want the responsibility of counseling a 20-something about their finances who isn't my child.

Host families need to wake up though. Au pairs do a lot of things worse than opening credit cards. [/quote]
