Description

Junk fees, they seem to be everywhere. They're on bank accounts, credit cards, auto sales. They're sometimes referred to as "convenience fees," but they're anything but convenient. And while junk fees are hitting consumers hard, companies that are charging the fees are making tons of money. In fact, a recent report revealed that consumers shell out 30 billion dollars a year just in junk fees alone. So, what can be done about these "junk fees" and is there any way to stop them? Today, we're talking to Carla Sanchez-Adams. She's an attorney with the National Consumer Law Center which is trying to end "junk fees" in order to leave more money in your pocket.
