The practice of charging higher rates and fees to cardholders with risky credit was devised as a means to protect lenders against the risk of default while keeping costs low for consumers who paid their bills on time, said Edward Yingling, president and CEO of the American Bankers Association, which opposes the legislation.
Yingling says the new rules will limit the card companies' ability to price according to risk. The result, he says, will be that every card holder will have to pay a higher interest rate to cover the cost when other customers default. Lenders also will be more reluctant to issue cards in general, he adds.
"Less credit will be available generally, which means some consumers and small businesses will not be able to obtain credit cards at all, particularly younger people and startup small businesses," Yingling said.
Dodd, who championed the bill, said this argument is absurd and "a little like Chicken Little."
Higher interest rate and fees have only meant one thing and that is more profit for the Credit card Companies. We know that may have protested this practice in the past. The research shows that they target high risk consumer (example college students) in mass. They can market them with low introductory rate and when they use the credit and fail to pay the late fee and interest rates start to rise. You see what they are actually lending is credit, your credit. They loss nothing but receive the power that your sweet, labor and tears bring them. BUT NO, they are not satisfied with ripping this risky credit group. They cover their “losses” by adding higher fees and interest rate to customers who have been paying on time. Just read the last statement from this prospective. Aren’t young people and startup small businesses HIGH RISK!
It is not a little like chicken little but the master talking to the slave “yes sir boss man, yes sir”!
