Credit card spending data "was far worse than we expected," KeyBanc analyst Anurag Rana said in downgrading Visa Inc. (V), MasterCard Inc. (MA) and Heartland Payment Systems Inc. (HPY) to neutral from buy.

Visa shares declined 7.8% to $45.51 in recent trading, MasterCard shares declined 5.1% to $123.65 and Heartland Payment shares declined 4.3% to $15.68.

UBS AG analyst Jason Kupferberg also warned Visa and MasterCard shares were likely to be volatile following the earnings reports of the big banks.

But Kupferberg said investors should bear in mind that Visa and MasterCards are more than just U.S. credit card companies, and that U.S. credit card volumes likely fell off more dramatically during the fourth quarter than in the rest of the world.

WASHINGTON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Democratic U.S. lawmakers said on Thursday they reintroduced credit card legislation aimed at curbing "unfair and deceptive" practices against consumers hit by unexpected rate increases and other fees.

The action comes almost one month after the Federal Reserve approved final rules to prohibit a number of highly criticized practices starting next year, but lawmakers said the Fed rules failed to go far enough sooner to rein in the industry.

In the Senate, Charles Schumer of New York and Mark Udall of Colorado introduced credit card reform legislation authored last year by U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney of New York.

Maloney plans to reintroduce her "Credit Cardholders Bill of Rights" in the House of Representatives, which approved it last year.
