Check your billing statements closely. If you have been charged a late fee even though your payment was mailed prior to the due 
date you should report it to your state attorney general. If your finance charges are being listed as purchases you should contact your 
state attorney general. If your credit card company is unable to funish a copy of a signed billing receipt you should notify your state 
attorney general.

All the events described above could make you a party to a class action suit against your credit card company where you could 
collect up to ten times the amounts you were falsely charged.

For more information contact your state attorney generals office.
