The law Congress passed last year also tackles gift card practices that have hurt consumers. A lot of the new transparency though is still written in fine print and some companies took some preemptive strikes, jacking up interest rates just before the new rules took effect. Plain Dealer consumer columnist Sheryl Harris will walk you through it, along with an industry guest and Host, Mike McIntyre, Monday at 9AM on The Sound of Ideas.
