Who decided that credit card companies and banks could change the rules and charge 31% interest or more on balances made at another rate and being paid on time? What happened to the financial fair practices regulations that were supposed to protect us?

My Note – I found this list above because these are the legislators that have authority over the credit cards that are increasing the interest rates on outstanding balances from 14% up to 31% and sometimes, even more. This is continuing despite the new package of regulations preventing and prohibiting it which was passed early last year and was going to go into effect by January, then was going to go into effect early last August or December 2009, and then finally, will now go into effect on February 22, 2010.

OCC Issues Additional Guidance on Credit Card Account Rate Increases

WASHINGTON — The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued a bulletin today on provisions of the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (Credit CARD Act). The bulletin describes an interim final rule issued by the Federal Reserve Board that requires banks to notify customers 45 days in advance of any rate increase or significant changes in credit card account terms. The rules also require lenders to disclose that their customers have the right to reject those changes.

However, under the rules, the new rates or terms can be applied to any transaction that occurs more than 14 days after the notice is provided – even if the customer ultimately rejects the changes. The rules do not require creditors to tell their customers that new terms can be applied during the 45-day period.

Until the issue is clarified in Federal Reserve rulemaking, the OCC is directing national banks to include an additional disclosure to notify consumers of this consequence. The OCC believes that this additional disclosure will prevent consumer confusion, particularly for customers who opt to reject the changes in terms.

Today’s bulletin is the second guidance that the OCC has issued about the Credit CARD Act. On July 30, the OCC issued Bulletin 2009-25 to remind national banks that effective August 22, 2010, they must conduct periodic reviews of accounts whose interest rates have been increased since January 1, 2009, based on factors including market conditions and borrower credit risk. If such factors have changed, the Credit CARD Act requires that the rates on the accounts must be reduced. The OCC required national banks to maintain and have available information concerning any rate increases as needed to conduct the required periodic reviews.

My Note –

It will take a class action suit against the banking and financial institutions for this to change. Apparently the new regulations and reform promised were hindered by the blinding light of the bankers, hedge fund managers, financial executives and their powerful, well-funded lobbyists. The abilities they have to charge themselves nothing in interest or liabilities, while pecking the skin off everybody else in the population to get our nickels and dimes and dollars until no one has anything except for the financial players, is astounding. They have no reason to learn any differently than they have been playing it.

There are no safeguards to insure fair trade, fair consumer practices and a level playing field for the rest of us. And, the bankers and investment / financial institutions, including the credit card companies will continue to drive human lives, families, communities and most of the population straight into generations of poverty while they lavish gifts and the riches of kings upon themselves.

Oh, Marie,    –  Marie Antoinette,

Why did you lose your head?
