A: Under California's Consumers Legal Remedies Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1750 et seq.), and the federal Truth in Lending Act (TILA), credit card companies are generally required to provide consumers with "adequate notice" of any significant changes to account terms or practices. If a credit card company changes the manner in which you can access your account without giving you proper notice, it may be in violation of these laws. To address this issue, you could consider sending a formal complaint to both the credit card company and relevant regulatory agencies, and you may also want to consult an attorney for personalized advice on pursuing a potential legal claim.
