"The major credit-card lender in mid-January sent letters notifying
some responsible cardholders that it would more than double their
rates to as high as 28%, without giving an explanation for the
increase, according to copies of five letters obtained by
BusinessWeek. Fine print at the end of the letter--headed "Im****tant
Amendment to Your Credit Card Agreement"--advised calling an 800-number
for the reason, but consumers who called say they were unable to get a
clear answer. "No one could give me an explanation," says Eric Fresch,
a Huron (Ohio) engineer who is on time with his Bank of America card
payments and knows of no decline in the status of his overall credit."
