Credit cards are the biggest problem in most peoples financial arrears. Most of us try and keep up with the plastic before paying anything else, such as rent and mortgages! Yes, people are actually paying for their mortgages and their rent using their credit facilities. When we try and explain to vulnerable consumers that they must prioritise their debts by paying the most important first, they seem shocked as though the credit card companies will be upset.
An upset credit card company is much better than an eviction order from your landlord or your mortgage lender advising you that they are to repossess your home or ask you to vacate your rented dwellings.
We can't stress enough the importance of making the repayments on loans or other debts secured against your home.
Credit card companies only want you to pay the minimum on your credit card repayments, if you pay more than the minimum required you will be clear your debt and then you won't owe them any money, this is not good for your credit card company, however, it is the right direction for you!
The interest on credit cards is designed to increase not reduce, these companies are waiting for you to suffer a change in personal circumstances such as a death in the family, loss of job or less hours at work, split from partner or divorce. These changes in circumstance are not all ways negative unpleasant ones. A new baby or a wedding can easily set us back for years. The credit industry has a much clearer crystal ball than the vulnerable consumer. They can see your changes before you know you are due them. it is just the way credit companies work but please do not let them work you out of YOUR home!
