Wexler Votes for Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights
Today, Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL) voted with a majority of his colleagues in the House of Representatives to pass the Credit Cardholders Bill of Rights Act of 2009. Credit card debt has soared across America, reaching a record high of nearly $1 trillion. In 2008, credit card issuers imposed $19 billion in penalty fees on families with credit cards and are expected to pull in more than $20.5 billion in 2009.
Having heard from many constituents under financial duress due to hidden interest rate hikes or excessive fees from credit card companies, Congressman Wexler supported this legislation’s new and much-needed consumer protections.
“It is time for financial institutions – as well as every day Americans – to re-embrace the valuese of fiscal responsibility, honesty, and hard work in our economy,” said Congressman Wexler. “For far too long, consumers have been armed with little protection against unfair credit card practices that have unfortunately become all too common. This legislation prevents credit card companies from hiding outrageous interest rate hikes or charging interest on debt that has been paid off in time, in addition to many other crucial consumer protections.”
