Is this why the congress waited almost a full year before they tried to pass this?? Hoping everyone would forget that the Federal Reserve failed to do it’s job the FIRST time….

But of course the solution is to give the Federal Reserve more power, right?? (Even though they are refusing to disclose who they loaned $2 TRILLION tax payer dollars to despite losing a freedom of information request)

WTF is Congress doing??

WASHINGTON – More than a year after Lehman Brothers’ collapse set off a financial panic, Senate negotiators appear close to resolving a narrow dispute that was holding up broad legislation to set new rules for Wall Street.

At issue was whether a government consumer watchdog should be free from bank regulators to write rules that govern everything from credit card and overdraft fees to payday loans and mortgages.

After a flurry of offers and counterproposals over the past three days, the Senate Banking Committee was closing in on a deal that would house a government consumer entity inside the Federal Reserve but give it autonomous power to write regulations, three people familiar with the talks told the Associated Press Monday night.

The sources spoke on the condition on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the evolving talks publicly.

On Amazon you can easily buy from other vendors. Although Amazon is a well-known and trusted site, I was worried about the security of smaller vendors that they have associated themselves with.

If I buy an item from another vendor, through Amazon, will the other vendor have my credit card information, or will only Amazon process this information?

I recently applied for a payday loan, and I received an alert on my credit report. It showed an inquiry from the payday loan company that I just applied for. I though that “payday loans” don’t check your credit? Now do you know if this is a hard inquiry or soft inquiry and if I’m in the last process of closing escrow on a house purchase. Would this affect the process of the closing?
Well..I did read that paper work & didn’t state anywhere about a credit check, it however state that payment may be reported to the credit bureaus.

I recently applied for pre-approval from a mortage direct lender. They gave a me pre-approval letter but when I asked for a copy of the credit report(s) they ran they refused, saying “We are not allowed to do it as we are not a credit repository.” Huh?? I thought consumers were entitled to their own credit report information when someone made a decision to extend or not extend credit based on it. What gives??
