Credit Card Debt
You may be among millions of Americans suffering with Credit Card Debt.
Everyone has some amount of credit card debt but if you have maxed out your "ONE" card or have more than one card and find yourself just making the required minimum balance(s), then it is time for you to seek professional help.
If you use a credit card and are able to pay the full balance every month that’s super. Congratulations! You are in a lower percentile of our population and we all wish we could join you soon. On the other hand, if you make payments leaving a balance behind each month, then you could be one of the many Americans who are suffering from credit card debt problems. Credit card companies, banks and institutions will now solicit and entice you to obtain a higher line of credit, with good intentions of course.
Each time you make a charge on your card, the Credit Card Company receives a percentage of the sale for fronting the money to the place of business. Another way the Credit Card Company makes money is by the "Interest Payment" on the portion of your unpaid balance.
The credit card companies spend millions a year to get you to use their cards. They are waiting for you to make a late payment so they can tack on a "Late Payment Charge" and if you haven't read the small print, they can increase your "Interest Amount" after a few occurrences.
Credit Card Companies report to "Credit Bureaus" any late charges, which are over 30 days. Each one of these derogatory comments cost you on your Credit Rating. This leads to higher interest rates in the future, from home purchases right down the line to a gas card.
Don't let Credit Card Companies get away with earning $100.00 on a $20.00 purchase.
