Credit Card Issuer Nears Settlement On Tactics
The New York Times
June 21, 2000
The Providian Financial Corporation, which issues cards to consumers with tarnished credit, said today that it was close to reaching a settlement with regulators and law enforcement agencies over its sales and marketing tactics.
Providian, the sixth-largest credit card issuer, said it was in talks with the San Francisco district attorney and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to settle accusations that it had misled customers about rates and fees, changed rates without notice and delayed posting payments to accounts to generate late fees.
