Question

In 2009, regulations for credit cards were changed by A. agreements between bankers and borrowers. B. the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights. C. bankers who felt sorry for cardholders. D. state legislatures.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B. the Credit Cardholders' Bill of Rights.

Explanation:

Basically, the new rule is intended to protect consumers from an arbitrary increase in interest rates, fees, and other finance charges, and prohibits banks from raising interest based on the customer's past due payment history with another banking institution. In addition, entities must allow customers to pay their bills online or by phone, without charging an additional fee, and must notify 45 days in advance of any change in interest rates so that the customer has enough time to review the new terms.
