“A CONVERSATION ON LATINO CREDIT CARD USE” HIGHLIGHTS THE OBSTACLES LATINOS FACE WHEN TRYING TO ESTABLISH CREDIT HISTORY

Washington, DC – Increased reliance on credit cards as a way to build a credit history exposes Latino consumers to financial predators and accumulation of debt, according to the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the largest Latino civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S., which today released a transcript of a roundtable session from the 2006 NCLR Annual Conference, A Conversation on Latino Credit Card Use. The discussion shed light on the growing number of Latino consumers who rely on credit cards as a way to supplement their income and to build credit.

“Latino purchasing power has grown to nearly $700 billion, yet very little is known about the impact of credit card industry practices on our community. This is especially troubling since many Latino families are using credit cards to pay for basics such as food and gas rather than luxuries,” said Janet Murguía, NCLR President and CEO. “This is a concern given the high cost of fees associated with credit card use,” she added.

Panelists highlighted the growing number of Latino consumers who are victims of credit card fraud. A 2003 survey by the Federal Trade Commission showed that Latinos are twice as likely as non-Latino Whites to be victims of fraud. Participants also concluded that Latino consumers need targeted education and financial counseling to build a deeper understanding of credit card policies and practices.

Participants in the roundtable included representatives from the YWCA, the Federal Trade Commission, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and Money Management International.

I hope this is for the current year too William

That's just what we need Gpeach, but I need a link to this source.

Lets all focus.

We have confirmed La Raza, now we need the confirm on maldef and lulac.

W: I'm not finding any direct listing by said orgs listing a BoA as corporate sponsor -doesn't mean that isn't the case of course, I'm just not looking in the correct places I'm sure. I do know that other ALIPAC posters have contributed lists of such things in the past and do remember seeing BoA in such lists (not sure whether it was for MALDEF or LULAC). If you can give it a little time maybe the person that has those lists can provide them along with the correct source/attribution info...(?)

Thanks guys - I see you dug up the LULAC, MALDEF info - thanks!

I gave your BOA boycott page(s) a quick look and are pretty good. I have a couple small suggestions, nothing real important, but these might help a bit. Can I add a post under the original for proposed changes or should I PM them to you?
