REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Unilateral fee change provisions implicate Dodd-Frank Section 1032 (clear disclosure of costs), CFPB UDAAP authority under Sections 1031-1032, and FTC Act Section 5. For EU users, the Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU) Article 6 requires pre-contractual disclosure of total price and prohibits material changes without adequate notice. UK Consumer Rights Act 2015 Section 62 subjects unfair contract terms (including unilateral variation clauses) to fairness review by the FCA and courts.
