From our friends at Consumers Union, the non-profit publishers of Consumer Reports

Senate must include real credit card reform in bailout package!

Strong legislation to make credit cards more fair to you just passed the House and now must pass the Senate. Tell your Senator to include these reforms in any rescue package it passes!

The Senate will vote THIS WEEK on a rescue package. The credit card reform bill should be included in any package that helps financial institutions out of the mess that some of them helped create.

The provisions passed by the House this week prevent credit card companies from arbitrarily jacking up interest rates on your card debt, and provide for a fairer distribution of your payments to costly, high-interest debt first.

Only days remain before Congress breaks for the year. Tell your Senators to support this provision now!

Well, almost anyone

One Day Left To Register For TransUnion Class Action Lawsuit

September 24, tomorrow, is the last day to register for the class action against TransUnion for selling consumer's private data to businesses without permission. If you held a credit card between January 1, 1987 to May 28, 2008, you're eligible to receive benefits. You can choose from one of three options:

1) free credit report monitoring for six months, plus cash if there's any money left over in settlement fund and you still get to sue them if you want
2) all the benefits of option one but you can't sue them any further.
3) 9 months of credit monitoring, access to some free credit scores, and free use of TransUnion's mortgage simulator service - but no cash payment. For more information, visit the settlement site at ListAction.com or call 1-866-416-3470.
