The companies that issue credit cards and those that hold credit cards will be watching the new Supreme Court case very closely. Verbal arguments in McCoy v. Chase Manhattan Bank will be heard during the next court session. The class action suit questions the ability of credit card companies to retroactively increase interest rates without notification of the cardholder. The card issuer is claiming that the card holder agreement could be considered notification of interest rate increases.
