Refunds from credit card issuers on the way - 0 views

  •  
    I chose this article because it relates to the topic we covered about money and credit cards. Discover, American Express and Capital One owe $435 million in refunds to about 6 million customers as a result of a government crackdown on deceptive credit card practices by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. These companies illegally charged higher interest rates and other violations that are now being rewarded back to the card holders.
