| Markey urges credit card firms not to raise rates ahead of law - Coloradoan Posted: 08 Oct 2009 08:28 AM PDT Ed Robert of Fort Collins got a letter last month from his credit card company, telling him he now was being charged a higher rate for interest and fees. "I thought, my goodness, they're trying to get under the radar scope before the law changes," Robert said. The self-described "active citizen" knew President Barack Obama had signed a law earlier this year that would limit the ability of credit-card companies to raise rates and fees after Feb. 1, 2010. "The banks are just trying to get there first," Robert said Wednesday. "Unfortunately for users, the banks are trying to jump ahead." Robert was among a number of Northern Colorado residents who complained about rate and fee increases to Rep. Betsy Markey. On Wednesday, the Fort Collins Democrat wrote a letter to the nation's largest credit card companies, asking them to refrain from rate and fee increases in advance of reforms that take effect Feb. 1. Markey was among 128 co-sponsors of the bill, the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009, that makes it more difficult for credit card companies to raise rates on existing balances. "What makes this situation particularly troubling is the fact that the effective date for the majority of the provisions in this legislation was set for February 2010 to give credit card companies time to implement the new federal regulations - not additional time to violate the spirit of the law by changing the terms of agreements, including raising interest rates on consumers," Markey said in a statement Wednesday. "Today, we are calling on America's credit card companies to do the right thing and pledge to halt unfair interest rate hikes on our families." Markey wrote a letter, signed by 17 other House members, urging credit card companies to follow the lead of Bank of America, which on Tuesday announced that it wouldn't re-price existing credit card agreements in advance of the February implementation of the new law. Colorado Democratic Reps. Ed Perlmutter and John Salazar also signed the letter.  This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
