Thursday, the Credit Cardholder’s Bill of Rights Act of 2009 (H.R. 627) which Congressman Emanuel Cleaver, II, Chairman Barney Frank (D-NY), Subcommittee Chairwoman Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) and Sens. Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Mark Udall (D-CO) are cosponsoring, passed the House of representatives by a vote of 357-70.

This comprehensive credit card reform legislation is aimed at leveling the playing field between credit card companies and consumers and abolishes industry abuses that are unfair, deceptive and anti-competitive.
