The CARD* Act of 2009
What the Legislation Could Mean for Your Credit Right Now
The Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and
Disclosure Act* takes effect in January 2010, nine
months after its signing date. But, there are issues
to pay attention to now before CARD starts its protections.
If you have one or more credit cards, you will most likely be
affected by changes resulting from the new law.
You may also find archive copies of the newsletter dating back to 1998.
