Consequences of Failing to Reevaluate Interest Rates under the CARD Act

Defying the CARD Act provisions demanding regular review and revamping of credit card interest rates can wreck havoc on financial institutions. Legal penalties and enforcement actions await non-compliant credit card companies. Such negligence also undermines consumer protections, potentially overcharging clients and inflicting financial woes on them. It thus opens a can of worms, marred reputation, financial liabilities, and postpones consumer defense options like arbitration, breach of laws, and disputing charges. In the credit card industry, CARD Act compliance is a gateway to trust and competitiveness. Be warned!
