Economic or financial abuse includes: Withholding economic resources such as money or credit cards. Stealing from or defrauding a partner of money or assets. Exploiting the intimate partner’s resources for personal gain. Withholding physical resources such as food, clothes, necessary medications, or shelter. Preventing the spouse or intimate partner from working or choosing an occupation. These symptoms may occur in alcoholic or addictive relationships as co-dependency grows.

(photo: Thinkstock) If you’ve got a closet full of unworn clothes and a credit card bill through the roof, chances are you’re an impulse shopper. You see something; you want it; you buy it. This could be because your brain has more dopamine in it than your more cautious friends. High levels of dopamine cause people to act rashly, which would explain that pair of hot pink pleather pants in the back of your closet. I only impulse buy when I’m stressed — I wonder what that says about my dopamine levels. How many of you have a really embarrassing impulse buy tale?

In most cases, prepaid credit cards work just like a credit card except that you put the money on the card before using it rather than using credit. Prepaid cards have several advantages over credit cards and here are some of them. Safer than Cash Prepaid credit cards are safer than cash because they have a protection built in. If your card gets stolen, you are protected under the same guidelines that traditional credit card holders have in many cases. For instance, if Visa offers its credit card holders a zero liability protection plan, you will have the same benefit if your prepaid card has the Visa logo. Be sure to check with the company printed on your prepaid credit car...

This means that in order to use the card, you must add money to the account on the card before you purchase items. The first thing you’ll do is sign up for an account. Before deciding what card you want, you’ll want to compare different cards. Many prepaid cards charge a monthly fee that can range anywhere from $1.99 to $12 a month. Higher monthly fees often come with more features, so you’ll want to decide what features you need on the card before you shop. You can get cards from Visa and Mastercard, which give you the flexibility of shopping anywhere where these cards are accepted. Options can include the following: * No activation fee. * Cash bonuses when you use direct deposit ...

CalabriaPresident Obama has announced his intention to use $30 billion in TARP funds to create a new small business lending fund.  In all likelihood, this is $30 billion the taxpayers will never see returned. First of all, the problem facing small business, outside of the massive uncertainty being created by Washington, is one of credit availability, not cost.  For those who can get credit, its quite cheap, arguably too cheap.  So if the president doesn’t intend to lower the cost of credit, the plan must be to lower the quality; using the $30 billion to cover expected credit losses.  Of course, we tried throwing lots of taxpayer money at unsustainable homeownership, is there any reason to believe throwing taxpayer money at unsustainable businesses is going to work any bett...

In the Wall Street Journal, Prof. Todd Zywicki examines the likely consequences of a law to limit credit card interest rates and the fees they charge to merchants: Card issuers might also reduce the quantity and quality of credit cards by restricting credit availability and cutting back on product innovation or ancillary card benefits. This is exactly what happened when Australian regulators imposed price controls on interchange fees in 2003: Annual fees increased an average of 22% on standard credit cards and annual fees for rewards cards increased by 47%-77%. Card issuers also reduced the generosity of their reward programs by 2...

Here’s a challenge to libertarians from Rortybomb, aka Mike Konczal: I want to pitch to the credit card and financial industry a new innovative online survey. It is targeted for older, more mature long-time users of our services. We’ll give a $10 credit for anyone who completes it. Here is a sense of what the questions will look like: - 1) What is your age? - 2) What day of the week are you taking this survey? - 3) Many rewards offered are for people with more active lifestyles: vacations, flights, hotels, rental cars.

As bank analyst Meredith Whitney discusses in the Wall Street Journal [$], all the major credit programs created by Congress and the Federal Reserve have been targeted at big corporations and Wall Street firms.  However, small companies, especially start-ups and partnerships, do not issue bonds in the debt markets, nor do they borrow from Goldman Sachs.  So these firms have been left out in the cold, as federal credit inventions have favored corporate America. Adding insult to injury is that not only has Washington subsidized credit to large firms, it has taken ac...

If business law professors are getting lost in the fine print of consumer financial products, we have a fundamental problem. Back in the early 1980s, the average credit card contract filled up a single page. Today, a similar agreement runs to more than 30. These contracts are designed to maximize company profits by hiding costly traps for consumers in a dense forest of confusing provisions and mysterious words like “LIBOR” and “Cash Equivalent Transactions.” It is no wonder that a 2006 study by t...

Today that topic will be the addition of the "convenience" of having a RFID microchip embedded in their credit card. When one of my credit card companies sent me a shiny new card out of sequence (that is, my old one was two years away from expiring) I did what I usually do in such situations. I became suspicious. Why did they do this? I doubted that it was for my benefit or totally in my best interest. OK, what was different?

With his term up in January of next year, Bernanke needs to be called to account for the Fed’s many questionable actions during the financial turmoil of the past year. Even while correctly identifying the “global savings glut,” Bernanke sat by and did nothing about the unsustainable build-up of leverage in the housing market—the “bubble” which famously burst in late 2008. Bernanke also used Fed financing to bail out Bear Stearns and AIG—hotly political moves which should rightfully have been left to Congress—and oversaw the massive expansion of the Fed’s balance sheet from about $900 billion to over $2 trillion. ...

The day the bill was introduced, the Center for Democracy and Technology issued a press release giving it a privacy stamp of approval. “The PASS ID Act addresses most of the major privacy and security concerns with REAL ID,” said Ari Schwartz, Vice-President of CDT.

Reports the Washington Post: Credit card companies are raising interest rates and fees seven months before new rules go into effect that will limit their ability to do so, much to the irritation of Congress and consumer advocates. Chase, for instance, will raise the minimum payment required of some of its customers from 2 percent to 5 percent of the statement balance starting in August. Chase and Discover have increased the maximum fee charged for transferring a balance to the card to 5 percent of the amount, up from 3 and 4 percent, respectively. Bank of America last ...

While intended to protect against consumer confusion and reduce the likelihood of future financial crises, the proposed agency will at best have little impact and at worst contribute to the next financial crisis, with the added effect of decreased homeownership and increased litigation. The president promises that “those ridiculous contracts with pages of fine print that no one can figure out – those things will be a thing of the past,” The president ignores that those “ridiculous contracts” and “fine print” are the result of previous rounds of so-called consumer protections.

Under the current Senate bill, the only way for someone under the age of 21 to get a credit card would be either: 1) they have a co-signer, such as their parent, sign for it, or 2) they maintain a job with sufficient income to cover any obligations arising from the credit card. By contrast, neither of these requirements is put in place for student loans; there is the clear expectation that you pay those loans back in the future from your increased future income that results from going to ...

Reports the New York Times: “We like credit cards — they are valuable vehicles for many people,” said Senator Christopher J.

His words: When you buy a toaster, if it explodes in your face there’s a law that says your toasters need to be safe. But when you get a credit card, or you get a mortgage, there’s no law on the books that says if that explodes in your face financially, somehow you’re going to be protected. So this is — the need for getting back to some common sense regulations — there’s nothing wrong with innovation in the financial markets.

But Congress should keep in mind that credit cards have been a significant source of consumer liquidity during this downturn. Now is the worst time to push measures that would curtail the availability of consumer credit, and that is exactly what the Credit Card Holders’ Bill of Rights will do. While few of us want to have to cover our basic living expenses on our credit card, that option is certainly better than going without those basic needs. The wide availability of credit cards has helped to significantly maintain some level of consumer purchasing dur...

Naturally, President Barack Obama has picked up on this sentiment and wants the credit card companies to be “fair.”  Reports the Washington Post: The Obama administration yesterday called for an end to unfair credit card industry practices such as retroactive interest rate increases for any reason, late-fee traps that penalize borrowers with weekend or middle-of-the-day deadlines and teaser rates that last less than six months.
