About Those Credit Card
Billing Enron
Mistakes on your
Christmas bills? Well, did
you know that there is a new
federal law, “The Fair
Credit Billing Act” which
says that your complaints
must be answered. If you
think you have been billed
the wrong amount, have
been charged for products
you didn’t buy or were never
delivered, didn’t get credited
for a payment you sent, or
think that any other billing
error has occured, here’s
what your rights are:
Once you have notified the
credit card company in
writing, the company must
within 30 days acknowledge
that it has received the
complaint. Within 90 days, it
must either correct the

mistake or send a written
explanation as to why the
original bill was correct.
During this 90 day period,
you do not have to pay any of
the amount that is in dispute
or any finance charge on this
amount.
The company cannot close
your account or give a bad
report on you to a credit
bureau during this period.
If the company doesn’t
follow these regulations, it
forfeits the amount disputed
up to $5O whether a billing
error has been made or not.
Do Your Pants
Smile?
It looks like pants are
really in to stay, lie fashion
picture for spring has in
cluded them in all types of
fabric and styles. I believe,
however, that we should
really work on the fit. If your
pants are smiling or
frowning, there is something
wrong.
Pants that “smile” in the
front are too tight across the
thighs. Frowns on pants in
the bade are caused % not
having enough seat room. Tn </ ■
To alter a pattern for full I f\ Y r\
thighs, add V*” to to the _
front at the inner leg, CLASSIFIED
beginning at the crotch.
Taper the addition to zero Aftl
about 7” down the inner leg. r\u ■
If your thighs are full to the
knee, do not taper to zero
until 1” beyond the knee.
This will give additional
room for the thigh and
prevent pants from riding up
while sitting or walking.
“Frowns” on the back of
pants mean more crotch
depth or sitting room is
needed. Every’ woman has a
different shape derriere, so
the pattern's crotch curve
won’t necessarily fit
everyone.
Add Vt” to %” to the back
pattern piece of the inner
leg, beginning at the crotch.
Taper the addition to zero
about 7” down the inner leg.
In addition to this crotch
depth alteration, you may
find it necessary to deepen
the crotch curve. This gives
additional sitting room and
keeps the pants from riding
down in the back when you
sit down. Begin deepening
the crotch seam in back at
the crotch and lower the
crotch curve about for
about 1 Taper back to the
original sewing line.
