JP Morgan Chase to stop excessive interest rates...

From the recent Congressional hearings about credit card rates I read:

Levin's scrutiny of the industry has had an impact. JPMorgan Chase (Charts, Fortune 500) recently announced that the company would eliminate so-called double-cycle billing - which eliminates the interest-free period of consumers who move from paying the full balance monthly to carrying a balance. Additionally, it will no longer raise rates based on credit scores.

The day I see that I will stop posting on this site... I actually called chase to inquire about my 29.99 rate and I was told that they have no such directive. I guess they WILL do it in the future but not now as they have to suck up the sub prime debacle..

It seems like a lot of people have negative things to say about Chase. Rediculous fees, poor customer service, APRs that change without notice - the list goes on and on!
