Weigh In on Prototype Credit Card Agreement

While Republicans in Congress were busy undermining the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the CFPB was busy doing its job.

CFPB is asking consumers to weigh in on a prototype credit card agreement that is shorter, written in plain language and explains key features up front. Take a look here, and let CFPB know what you think. It’s all part of the agency’s Know Before You Owe campaign.

CFPB reports that a recent study by J.D. Power showed that some two-thirds of credit cardholders say they don’t completely understand how their cards work. Many complaints stem from a misunderstanding of card terms.  Credit card debt is estimated at $700 billion.
