Yes, they should do a better job, but there's plenty of blame to go around. If consumers didn't spend far more than they could afford, there wouldn't be a problem.

Not telling you your API is borderline criminal/fraudulent, as far as I'm concerned, particularly because credit card companies can alter the interest rate on money they've already lent you whenever they want.
