The judgement against the defendants in the CCF case had nothing to do with the fees themselves, but with the fact that they were not properly disclosed. The fees continue to get charged, but now card issuing banks tell you this in advance.
DCC has been adequately disclosed since its inception (possibly in part to preempt a repeat of CCF).
