Can I modify a paper contract, and then mail it to the bank?
<p>If a bank sends me a contract to sign to apply for a credit card, can I scan the contract, modify it, and then mail it to the bank?</p>

<p>The bank has made you an offer to contract with you: you can accept that offer by signing it and sending it back <strong>unamended.</strong></p>

<p>You can make the bank a counter-offer by amending the document, signing it and sending it to them for their consideration and acceptance or rejection. With a bank, I would count on rejection.</p>

<p>Basically, if you don't like the terms, find another bank or do without the card.</p>
