Please Support Rep. Maloney's Consumer Overdraft Protection Fair Practices Act

Dear Representative,

Dear Representative,

It is no secret that bank fees are making a difficult situation worse. Numerous reports by groups such as Consumers Union, The Center for Responsible Lending and even the Government Accountability Office show that these fees are predatory, that the banks in many cases are not complying with existing law in administering their overdraft "protection" programs, and that these fees cost consumers billions of dollars annually.

Now, in the middle of a recession, having spent billions of dollars to bail out the banks, isn't it time to do something to help consumers?

"The banking ‘overdraft’ policy has given nothing but hardship, misery, and joblessness to those whom might try to make life little more pleasant, and enjoyable for themselves in the world! "
