CAB: National charity, Citizens Advice has joined forces with the UK Cards Association to ensure that consumers are savvy about recent changes to credit card accounts.  The changes will give credit card holders greater flexibility and control over their accounts.
 
The changes came into effect in January & April 2011.  To coincide with this, Citizens Advice and UK Cards have produced a leaflet outlining what the 6 main changes are and what they will mean for consumers.  The leaflets will be available from CAB across England & Wales and to download, along with an ‘advicepod’, from the charity’s advice giving website.
