Is your credit card company overcharging you?
With the economy in a downward spiral, more and more families are
taking advantage of credit card offers to make ends meet, but are
the credit card companies really taking advantage of them? NOW

credit limits. NOW takes a hard look at the small print in
credit card offers and at Congressional legislation aiming to
regulate the industry.
