  • Prevents cardholders who pay on time from being unfairly penalized
  • Protects cardholders from due date gimmicks
  • Shields cardholders from misleading terms
  • Empowers cardholders to set limits on their credit
  • Requires card companies to fairly credit and allocate payments
  • Prohibits card companies from imposing excessive fees on cardholders
  • Prevents card companies from giving subprime credit cards to people who can’t afford them
  • Requires Congress to provide better oversight of the credit card industry
  • Contains NO rate caps, fee setting, or price controls
