CONSUMER ACTION

Question:
‘For several years | had a
= charge card with a major
= department store. I had an
excellent credit rating, and
my credit limit was $2,000.
After I was married, | had the
account changed to my new
: sumame. Suddenly my credit
limit was reduced to $300.
: My husband had several bad
debts before we were mar-
=" ied, but he never uses my
: card—it's in my name only.
i need some furniture, but
the store won't let me charge
it, presumably because of my
husband's poor credit record.

> Answer:

We suggested that this con-
sumer explain the situation to
the credit manager of the

... Store, and if necessary to the
“ manager of her local credit
bureau.

Although a woman is enti-

/ tled to her own credit file, it is
- not illegal for the file to
contain i about her

As a practical matter,
however, there is no law that
dictates how much credit any-
one may be given, nor is there
any law specifically prohibit-
ing discrimination in credit
granting.

There is, however, a grow-
ing tendency for credit gran-
tors to consider the credit
worthiness of an individual as.
an individual and without re-
gard to other factors“such as
sex or marital status.

In this case, the store in-
creased the consumer's avail
able.credit, -but not to its
ouiginél “Tevel.
