Consumer's Union | Credit Card Reform: A hand up, not a hand-out

Stop companies from squeezing your credit cards for extra cash.

These reforms won’t cost the Treasury or taxpayers one cent. Rather, they’ll stop the card companies from costing you more money. The House passed these reforms; tell the Senate to do the same now so we can keep our cash to survive in this economy.
* Stop card companies from randomly hiking the interest rate on your balances for no reason whatsoever
* Require them to more fairly distribute your payments to high-interest debt first
* Stop them from changing the terms of your agreement until your card expires
* Stop heavy marketing of credit to college students

Pass S. 3252 - tough oversight of credit card companies
