Posted by Tim at 11/23/09 04:11 PM

The Defend Your Dollars Team have been working with the producers of a new FRONTLINE report “The Card Game” which airs on PBS stations across the country this Tuesday, Nov. 24 at 9 p.m. Pam Suwinsky from Sacramento, has a cameo in the piece came to us through our Share Your Story database.

From the folks at PBS:


Veteran correspondent (and UC Berkeley Journalism Professor) Lowell Bergman, in a joint report with “The New York Times,” investigates the massive consumer loan industry and regulators’ attempts to make potentially historic changes in the consumer credit business.

Credit cards, banking fees and personal finance issues are on the top-of-mind with consumers now as they gear up for “Black Friday” and the holiday shopping season, and “The Card Game” gives viewers an insightful glimpse into the practices of the financial services industry.

This report comes at at a crucial time when industry insiders, regulators, politicians and consumer advocates are all squaring off in Washington over attempts to reform the way the industry has done business for decades and how best to protect consumers.

Our preview site features embeddable video, descriptions and links to the companion reports on “The New York Times” that can be shared with your readers.
