Calls for action as credit card interest rates soar

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — Right now, Americans are facing credit card interest rates over 20%.The issue is prompting calls for actions in Washington."We're seeing triple trouble, basically," said Ted Rossman, a financial analyst with Bankrate. "More debt, higher interest rates and more people carrying that debt."With the Federal Reserve raising interest rates to cool inflation, on average, Americans are paying more than 20% in credit card interest each month."That is just outrageous," said Sen.

He's introducing legislation to cap credit card interest rates at 18%."Eighteen percent is more than enough profit for these companies to make, and it would really give working people a shot," he said.But according to Rossman, a cap will do little to alleviate financial stress."Honestly, if it's 16% or 18 or 20 or 22, it almost doesn't matter," Rossman said. "Because they're all high."Financial experts say consumers in a bind shoul...
