Bill 111 hr 3639, also known as the Expedited CARD Reform for Consumers Act of 2009, was introduced in the US Congress with the aim of providing faster and more efficient reforms to credit card regulations for the benefit of consumers. The bill sought to address issues related to credit card practices that were deemed unfair or deceptive.

Some key provisions of the bill included requiring credit card companies to provide clearer and more transparent information to consumers about their credit card terms and conditions. This would help consumers make more informed decisions about their credit card usage and avoid unexpected fees or penalties.

Additionally, the bill aimed to protect consumers from arbitrary interest rate increases and excessive fees by requiring credit card companies to provide advance notice of any changes to their terms and conditions. This would give consumers the opportunity to opt out of the changes if they were not in their best interest.

It aimed to create a more transparent and consumer-friendly credit card market that would benefit all consumers.
