• Consumer Debt

• Author Joseph Tardiff
• Published by Greenhaven Press

Explores the relationship between consumer debt and the economy, and the positive and negative impacts of credit card use on consumers. Do credit cards provide for convenient, secure financial transactions, or entrap low-to-middle income consumers with high interest rates and fees? Looks at the practices of predatory lenders and debt collection agencies - do they treat consumers fairly? - and assesses bankruptcy as an option for handling too much personal debt.
