| Kick-Off to a Rip-Off: Loose Laws Lead to Inflated Prices for Rent-to-Own Consumers |
New Yorkers who buy televisions from rent-to-own stores could end up paying 300% more than they need to because of a major loophole in State law. This investigation, which compiled prices of three common products at New York's 38 Rent-A-Centers and compared those prices to local retail stores, national retail chains and online vendors, found rent-to-own stores charge significantly higher prices than other stores.

| Identity Crisis: New Yorkers' Personal Information Needs Protection |
Identity theft crimes nationwide have led prosecutors to brand it “the new street crime.” With the 9th highest per capita incidence of ID theft among major metropolitan areas, NYC has not been immune. Officials have begun efforts to reduce and prevent ID theft, but a NYC Council investigation shows laws have not kept up. ATMs at non-bank locations, for example, are unregulated and can be manipulated to steal information. The Council therefore calls for registering and licensing non-bank ATMs.

| Maxed Out: What Every Consumer Should Know About Credit Cards |
During the 2004 holiday season, consumers spent, on average, between $730 and $1,285 on gifts, a significant portion of which is financed on credit cards. Holiday shopping can make up as much as 31% of a household’s credit card debt. A New York City Council investigation of 433 credit cards offered to New Yorkers reveals that not all cards are created equal. In fact, consumers who shop around can save thousands of dollars over the course of repaying their holiday credit card debt.
