Why doesn't the Federal Government force credit agencies to reduce their APR and late fees to help recession?

The feds DO regulate all legitimate credit providing agencies.

Should the Federal Government also force the breweries to lower the cost of their beer? How about forcing dairy farmers to lower the cost of their milk. And while we're at it, why not force all employers to give everyone at least $20 per hour in pay (actually, why not make everyone in the US rich by guaranteeing everyone a $100,000 per year salary).

Your question smacks of the reason we all need to be concerned about the economic viability of our country into the years ahead. Anytime someone asks "why doesn't the federal government force ....(fill in the blank)....it shows a complete lack of understanding of our national economy.

Because credit agencies do not set interest rates or late fees. They only report them.

Interest rates are set by the banks and are based on the supply and demand of money. Our money is based on debt. A greater demand for money drives intrerest rates up while a greater supply of money causes inflation. The Federal Reserve constantly adjusts intereste rates so that the economy will remain mostly stable. I watched a very good video on this subject called "Money as Debt" Link is below.

Late fees are a punishment that you get when you don't pay your bills on time. Again, the government does not set them and actually has nothing to do with them. Before you get a credit card, read the agreement. You will see that the lender can pretty much do what they want when they want. If you are late for one payment, they can fine you and increase your interest rate.

The solution is not for government to make a proclomation about late fees and debt. The solution is to get ouf debt yourself.

Best,

I'd also like to see them stop the pump gouging. The price of oil has risen, yes, but the price of gas has risen way farther than it should have.

it's their number one money maker.

One word Politics.

Credit lobbying groups are in the politicians back pockets, same thing with the oil industry.

we already meddle enough with our "free market" economy. maybe we should force the closure of all credit agencies and only buy what we can afford?


wartz
The APR is a market force. If lenders were forced to reduce their rates, they would reduce the funds available.

Because thats not how the Government works. They can't just force them. AND, if they started doing that, then they would start forcing other things on us as well, going back to monarchy, and such.

They do every now and again. But not enough to suit me. It has only gone up and we can't do any thing about it. The credit card companys are trying to get you to do the 8.99% for the life of the loan, if you don't miss a payment. Not a bad deal as long as your on time with your payment. You miss and you could be paying 30 % in some cases.


pinky
The APR is exceeding ly low - Enjoy while you can.
Recession?? You obviously never lived through one.

The Federal Reserve, I think, is supposed to do that, but they won't. They're a private bank owned by the Rothschilds of England who want to bilk us for everything we got.
