UCSB Hosts Credit Card Ploy Forum for Students

The UCSB CALPIRG campaign joined the national U.S. PIRG Education Fund to inform students of traps used by credit card companies, which entice them with seemingly low-cost credit cards that turn out to have high fees and penalty interest rates. With students already facing the high cost of college, CALPIRG sought to educate students on proper credit card principles, mimicking credit card marketing at a campus display on 10/10.
