Credit Card Fairness for Consumers
May 19, 2009 — Democratic Senators today celebrated the passage of credit card consumer protection legislation. The CARD Act (Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure) outlaws hidden fees, misleading terms and other credit card company tricks and traps. In recent weeks, Senate Democrats have passed legislation to protect American consumers from fraud and prevent waste in government contracts. The CARD Act is one more way Democrats are helping Main Street to stabilize our economy. Today's credit card legislation was authored by Senator Dodd.
