Is Your Credit Card Company Sweet on You? Posted by Michelle at 02/13/07 12:19 PM

If your credit card company is squeezing the love out of you, it's time to send Congress a message this Valentine's Day that you want better terms in this debt relationship.

Your mail box is always full of credit card offers that are 2GOOD 2B TRU, and you don't want to be 4EVER IN DEBT.. The new Senate has already held hearings on the credit card "gotchas" that can cost you thousands! We need to keep the momentum going and get strong bills filed.

Congress can set reasonable limits on credit card practices that allow credit card companies to charge fairly and make a profit without the "gotchas." The GAO has released a study supporting sensible reforms, initial hearings look promising, but members of the key Senate committees need to hear from you.
