Free access to credit scores
Date: Thu, April 25, 2013
Legislation introduced in the U.S. House and Senate would give consumers free credit scores along with their free annual credit reports.
Petition
Save Wireless Lifeline!
Date: Thu, April 11, 2013
Let your elected representatives know that you strongly oppose any cuts to Lifeline. Sign our petition to protect low-income Lifeline telephone subsidies. A recent Washington Post article highlighted growing criticism of the low-income phone subsidy program known as Lifeline, which was founded under President Ronald Reagan's administration and expanded to include cellphone service during the presidency of George W. Bush.
Petition
Stand with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
Date: Tue, March 12, 2013
Once again a group of Senators has lined up against consumer protection. They want to cut the CFPB's budget and undermine its authority and effectiveness. So far, they have refused to vote to confirm (or reject) CFPB Director Richard Cordray. Let the CFPB do its job! That’s the message we need to send to Congress and we need your help to deliver it now.
Petition
Used car buyers’ protections veering in the wrong direction
Date: Mon, February 11, 2013
Don't let the FTC weaken the Used Car Rule. Please let the FTC know that consumers do not want the Used Car Rule watered down. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued a proposal to update the Used Car Rule. But the proposed rules pose some real problems for consumers.
Petition
Support Insurance Reform!
Date: Wed, April 18, 2012
Please take a moment sign a petition that would put insurance reform on the California ballot. Just four insurance companies control 71% of California's market, and they set premiums in secret, behind closed doors. California needs more transparency in insurance pricing, and should empower the state Insurance Commissioner to block excessive premium hikes by health insurers.
