America: Don’t let your credit card company get away with it!

From:Kaya Atli [kayaatli@yahoo.com]

The credit card companies are at it again! Congress passed a law earlier this year that would put an end to their abusive tactics — including raising interest rates on our card balances for no reason — but the reforms don’t go into effect until February. In the meantime, they’ve been hiking interest rates, adding new fees and doubling our minimum payments.

I just emailed my members of Congress telling them to implement the reforms now — not in another four months. We can’t wait that long for these abuses to stop, especially with the upcoming holiday season.

Join me by going to Consumers Union’s money web site, www.creditcardreform.org, and send an email now. Congress needs to make this law effective immediately — we can’t afford more months of the banks’ tricks with our credit cards.

Thank you!
