Protect Yourself! Put an End to Outragious Fees in Your State
Everyday Americans fall into debt due to excessive fees that extend far above and beyond what the original bill to the institution was in the first place. Lets urge our state law officials to put reasonable standards on institutions who chose to put their customers in debt by abusing the amounts they charge us in fees. I motion that the total amount charged by ANY institution or company in fees should not extend above 30% of the total bill originally owed by the customer. Even the best of us fall behind on our payments from time to time. We shouldn't be punished to the point of ruining our hard earned credit because someone decided they wanted to charge whatever they felt like beyond any reason, or ethical justification. Lets start pulling Americans out of debt by holding those who would plunge our country back into further debt by holding them accountable for there actions.
Why is this important?
Help state legislation pass a law prohibiting businesses and financial institutions from overcharging excessive amounts of money in fees that extend sometimes beyond half of the total amount owed on a customer's original bill. This has to stop! There is no logical, rational, or ethical justification good enough to allow anyone to overcharge a customer these outragious amounts in late fees. I propose we petition to pass a law that would prohibit these institutions from billing a customer anything above 30% of the total amount originally owed on a bill. Even the best of us fall behind on our payments from time to time. That shouldn't give a business the right to punish us with fees that purposely put us farther into debt and helps send America farther into debt needlessly.
