Retail credit card debt is accounting for a greater proportion of overall debt in consumer bankruptcies in recent years. A big reason is the record high interest rates banks, including Synchrony and Bread Financial, are imposing on clients after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau tried to cap credit card late fees at $8, down from $32, in March 2024.
 
近年來,零售信用卡債務(wù)占消費者破產(chǎn)總債務(wù)的比例越來越大。一個重要原因是,銀行(包括Synchrony和Bread Financial)在2024年3月美國消費者金融保護局嘗試將信用卡滯納金從32美元降至8美元后,向客戶收取創(chuàng)紀(jì)錄的高利率。
