Force financial institutions to rename “Credit Cards” to “Debt Cards”.
We call upon the government to force financial services companies to call debt what it really is, “Debt”. “Credit” is often marketed in such a way that it doesn’t feel like debt. With unsecured debt growing at a dangerous rate, it is important people are more aware of what they’re getting into.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The regulation of credit cards is the responsibility of the independent regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
