Abstract: This is a national telephone survey of 1,000 credit card holders as part of its study of mandatory pre-dispute arbitration agreements, which is required under Section 1028(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Public Law No. 111-203, Title XIV. The survey will explore the extent of consumer awareness of dispute resolution provisions in their agreements with credit card providers, as well as consumers' assessments of such provisions. The survey will seek information regarding consumers' perceptions and valuations of the two primary forms of dispute resolution: arbitration and litigation. The survey will not, however, gather data regarding respondents' post-fact satisfaction with arbitration or litigation proceedings.
