Hi is there truth in the national debt relief initiative scam?--I think this is related or being mistaken for Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act of 2007 (http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h11

I agree, but I wonder whether the term national debt relief initiative was ever used by the federal gov. Anyway, the misnomer could also be referring to the  Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 http://www.whitehouse.gov/the_press_office/Fact-Sheet-Reforms-to-Protect-American-Credit-Card-Holders/

effective this Feb 2010. That law states that: -The credit card company can only increase the interest rate if the consumer's payment is 60 days late -Unless the consumer has asked for an over-limit fee, the creditors can't charge the consumer for it. Also, banks may not charge late fees if they were also late in crediting a payment.

Right and to add to that - -Credit card companies may not market to people under the age of 21, without parental permission, or verification of their ability to pay. -Credit card companies must give the consumers 45 days before they can up the interest rates. -The consumer's payment must first be applied to the highest interest rate balance.
