Continue to Read Your Credit Card Mailings
| January 12, 2010 |
Have your received any mailings lately that detailed how the new law that takes affect February 22nd effects your credit card account? Odds are you probably have or if you haven’t then you probably will very soon, as these mailings will contain valuable information on how issuers will conduct business moving forward.
According to an article on Bankrate.com entitled "Watch for CARD Act Mail", with regulations approaching soon, your mailing could be the only thing to let you know where your issuer stands. This is because the new regulations were designed to set a standard with financial institutions when it comes to their plastic. Even as a standard is set some may find that while many issuers may just decide to comply with the minimum changes others may be going above and beyond that of what is required by the White House. For this reason the mail that you receive could be quite different than those received by others.
Just like other information that is sent from your issuer, this notice is vital and if you neglect to read or understand them you could be making a very terrible mistake. As the new law takes effect soon I would love to hear from you. Let me know what changes you have received concerning the CARD Act and your account.







So if I have a card from each issuer, I should get 3 letters. (I don’t have a Discover card.) This will be interesting to see.
