Consumers angry about some of the tactics of credit card issuers lately should take control of their cards and fight back with strategies such as switching to a card from a credit union, says Consumer Reports in its just-released November issue.
“If you regularly carry a balance, you can beat the card issuers at their game by keeping your debt as low as possible and perhaps switching to a card from a credit union or a regional or community bank, which tend to charge lower interest rates and have more pro-consumer policies,” said the report.
