Charge! Credit Card Reform and Consumers
A bill to reform the practices of credit card companies is likely to end up on President Obama’s desk before Memorial Day. So what’s in this bill, and what does it mean for the average credit card user? To help us understand how this bill will affect consumers, we turn to finance writer Beth Kobliner, author of the book Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in Your Twenties and Thirties.
