Customers Are Best Served When Policy Is Based on Data, Not Politics

The CFPB recently proposed to cap the “safe harbor” for credit card late fees at $8. This would drastically reduce the level at which late fees are allowed under the law.

It would also harm consumers by raising the costs of credit cards and decreasing the availability of credit for those with lower credit scores.
