Did you know that banks in the U.S. can use clauses buried in fine print to prevent you from bringing disputes over unfair fees to court? But together we can change it, with the help of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Tell them you want the right to participate in class-action lawsuits and hold banks accountable: http://pew.org/29lJPf2
