Credit Card Redlining: Hearings Before the Subcommittee on Consumer Affairs of the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, United States Sen (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781172548163)

This volume contains the official record of the hearings before the Subcommittee on Consumer Affairs of the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the United States Senate, Ninety-sixth Congress, First Session, concerning S. 15 and related issues of "Credit Card Redlining." The hearings, held on June 4 and 5, 1979, address discriminatory practices in the issuance of credit cards.

Witnesses provide testimony and discuss potential legislative remedies to prevent redlining based on geographical location or other unfair criteria. The document offers valuable insight into the legislative considerations and societal concerns surrounding credit card accessibility and fairness during the late 1970s. This historical record is essential for understanding the evolution of consumer protection laws and the ongoing debate about equitable access to financial services.
