Finally, the Credit Card Reform Act has been penned into law. Long awaited and equally long overdue, the card act is to be officially known as Credit CARD Act or Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009.

The reform act is supposed to bring exactly that, reform. It will change the way credit card issuers have been handling their clients and how Americans have been doing their spending.

This great reform law comes at a time when the country has been hit by one of the worst economic crisis ever which began as a credit crunch. However, the mechanics and groundwork for the law to be in operation on a full scale will be phased over the next 15 months from 20th August 2009. by the month of August this year, all credit card account holders will now get a 45 days advance notice from their card issuers before they get any major changes relating to their account this may be changes in interest rates, change of account specifics or anything else that may change the financial position of the account holder. Also, the credit card holder now will enjoy more time to make billings for their spending after their monthly bill payment dates being changed from the normal 14 days to 21 days.
