The Senate passed a compromised credit card company accountability bill!
Perhaps now is the best time to get that Hello-Kitty credit card you always wanted, instead of the one with a photo of leeches, vampires, or multinational banking corporate officers.
Here’s what you can expect: [Courtesy of Consumerreports.org]
•Interest rates can’t be raised during the first year of an account
•Customers will be notified 45 days in advance of any change in interest rates
•Bills can be paid online or over the phone without incurring a processing fee
•Customers must be over 60 days late on payments before their interest rate can be raised on balances; if the rate is raised, it will go back to the lower rate if customers make the minimum payment on time for six months in a row.
•Overlimit fees can’t be charged unless cardholders are told that the purchase will put them over their limit and they authorize it to go through anyway
•If your card has more than one interest rate on balances, then payments must be applied to the highest interest rate first
•Gift cards can’t expire for five years, and issuers can’t charge dormancy fees for unused amounts left on the card
•Credit card statements must be mailed out 21 days before they’re due
•Individuals under 21 will need a co-signer on their cards unless they can prove that they have the means to make payments on their own
•Credit card agreements will have to be posted on the internet
As a result of the newer terms, Bad Guys (banks) already “warn” that credit will be less freely available to the public.
