Require credit card companies to reduce their high rates of interest immediately

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

We would like the Government to require all credit card companies to reduce their high rates of interest immediately and for the entire duration of this coronavirus national emergency

At this time of national crisis, it is unfair to expect people who at risk of losing their jobs and/or income to pay the very high rates of interest that credit card companies charge.
