They're just a private entity. Further, did you see anything in here addressing the practice of applying interest charges as new purchases (even when payments are made on time) and collecting a higher rate on them than for the balance transfer (at an enticing low rate) that is throwing them off? If there is anything deceptive, it is that! Why does the Fed have anything to do with credit card regulations? They’re just a private entity.

Why do credit card companies have the right to change terms whenever they like? They change the rules with impunity, and consumers' only recourse is to change companies. Yeah, right, like we can change $3000 credit balances anytime we please. And now our government is giving these same credit providers billions of dollars of our money so they can write off their bad loans.

Lot more damage could be done by then. The above are good regulations for the consumer, but its ridiculous that it will take till 2010 to implement. Lot more damage could be done by then.
