FINANCE CHARGES CREDIT CARDS
IS YOUR CREDIT CARD STATEMENT REFLECTING A FINANCIAL CHARGE
ON YOUR CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT.WELL THIS SHOWS THAT YOU HAVE NOT HANDLED YOUR CREDIT RESPONSIBLY.A FINANCIAL CHARGE IS
LEVIED ON YOUR CREDIT CARD ACCOUNT WHEN:-
YOU HAVE PAID ONLY THE MINIMUM AMOUNT DUE
YOU HAVE PAID PART OF THE AMOUNT DUE
YOU HAVE NOT MADE ANY PAYMENTS AT ALL
This is one of the main reasons that many card holders turn
into defaulters or their credit card account gets blocked.When you make a
purchase from your credit card and use a certain percentage of your credit
limit.you are given a certain number of days time to repay or clear that amount
from your credit account.If you pay only minimum amount due or 50% of the total
amount due then you are charged with financial interest on the remaining amount
and that is carried forward to your next month statement.
If before the next month statement is generated you again
make a transaction on your credit card and use your credit limit available and
there is already a finance charge on your credit account ,you will charged with
financial interest on the new transaction as well.This will follow on for each
month till all your dues are completely cleared.In this way you end up paying
more than you bargained for.
The bank/financial institution whose money you are using in
the form of credit is constantly earning from you in the form of late fee
charges and finance charges and leading yourself towards financial
destruction.This created a very bad credit/payment history for you and this in
turn adversely affects your credit score which makes it more difficult for you
in getting approval for loans at best possible rates of interest.
