Students have enough problems with money without having to deal with credit card debt. 

So we launched a new project called Truth About Credit. Our goal is to help students not get ripped off by credit cards. Our program was recently endorsed by the New York Times.

We have several guide books for students, written by INPIRG Advocate Christine Lindstrom. To the right is one of our campus events educating students about how to avoid the credit card trap.

We are working with our college administrators to restrict credit card marketing on campus. 

Finally, we are promoting policies at the federal level that start to reign in some of the most abusive practices of the credit card industry. Below is INPIRG’s National Consumer Program Director, Ed Mierzwinski, testifying before Congress on behalf of Indiana students.

Sign up to volunteer and help us educate the campus about the credit card trap!
