The possibility of not being able to meet monthly financial obligations, especially if it leads to the loss of your home, can be terrifying," said Susan Boenau, chief of the FDICs Consumer Affairs section. "If you're having difficulty paying your debts, the worst thing you can do is ignore the situation and do nothing. Contact your lenders if you anticipate payment problems. - "Don't wait until after you can't make your mortgage payment or the minimum payment due on your credit card, because by then, you may have damaged your credit rating and you may have fewer options available for getting help," said Kathleen Nagle, FDIC associate director for Consumer Protection. Immediately contact your creditors and attempt to work out a solution. "Don't wait until after you can't make your mort...
Apparently I'm not the only person who thinks teenagers and credit cards don't mix. In last week's column, I talked about a Junior Achievement survey in which 10.3 percent of all teens said they own credit cards. The number was higher -- 19.6 percent -- for teens 18 or older.

A new federal law took effect Monday that prevents credit card companies from continuing practices that kept some consumers in costly cycles of debt. // Deemed "historic" by some consumer advocates, the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act - or Credit CARD Act - aims primarily to help consumers who carry balances from month to month. It prohibits fine- print practices that trigger retroactive interest rate increases and instant late-payment penalties. Cardholders who regularly pay off balances on time also will benefit. Credit card issuers now must give users more notice of changes in account terms and a minimum of 21 days between the mailing of a monthly statement and the date payment is due.
Title X of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) transferred rulemaking authority for a number of consumer financial protection laws from seven Federal agencies to the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (Bureau) as of July 21, 2011.

In light of the transfer of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System's (Board's) rulemaking authority for the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) to the Bureau, the Bureau is publishing for public comment an interim final rule establishing a new Regulation Z (Truth in Lending). This interim final ru...
