New Anti-Consumer Law About To Pass

Credit Cardholder's Bill of Rights Passed in House
Tuesday September 23, 2008
The Credit Cardhlder's Bill of Rights is one step closer to becoming a reality. The act passed in the House today with a vote of 312 to 119.
If passed, the Bill of Rights will make several amendments to consumer credit laws prohibiting lenders from certain predatory actions. For example, credit cards will no longer be able to use the double billing cycle method of calculating finance charges. They will also be required to send billing statements at least 21 days before the due date, giving consumers more time to pay their bills.
Next, the proposal must be passed by the Senate and signed by the President to be made into a law.Read The Credit Cardholder's Bill of Rights for a list of changes the law would make.

Without it, sales are going to plummet insofar as FHA now requires between a 3% to 5% down payment plus PMI. In this economy, most people don't have that money laying around.

Thus, wait a few weeks and see how this shakes

As such, dispute any erroneous account type or status with TU and pray they verify it. It will be a FDCPA violation for the furnisher as well as a FCRA violation under 1681s-2b and a FCRA violation for TU.
