Subsection (a) of this section is revised in standard language used to define
terms.
In subsection (a)(3) of this section, the reference to the credit card "of the
issuer" is substituted for the former reference to "such" credit card for
clarity.
In subsection (b) of this section, the former reference to "a purported
issuer, a person or organization providing money, goods, services or
anything else of value, or any other" person is deleted as included in the
comprehensive reference to a "person". Similarly, in subsection (c) of this
section, the former reference to "the issuer, or a person or organization
providing money, goods, services or anything else of value, or any other"
person is deleted as included in the comprehensive reference to a "person".
