With so many companies advertising free credit reports on national television, it’s becoming increasingly hard to separate the wheat from the chaff. Because if the advertised offer is really free, then can the company justify paying for national advertising? And it’s not like the campaigns ran and then stopped all of a sudden. They’ve been on the air for years now, so it has to be a profit-generating venture. And they all seem to be hell-bent on showing you what horrible things can happen to you should you not get your free credit report, while minimizing the fact that they’re just as intent on selling you something.

Having a poor credit record doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re going to have to be a renter for the rest of your life. On the other hand, what it does mean is that you’re going to have to educate yourself about credit scores and their impact on mortgage loan rates.

I sit at my desk completely frustrated with Advanta. I opened up a business credit card with them 3 years ago and made a purchase of $6500 to help build my business credit for Rapid Recovery Solution, my Collection Agency. I have paid more then the minimum every month, on time. November 2008 I noticed that my interest rate seemed a little high. No where on my statement did it say the actual interest rate so I called the company. After 10 min or so I get a live rep on the line and they tell me it is 36.1%. Are they kidding, this must be a mistake. I have over a 750 score and never missed a payment. They said they sent me a notice in Aug that they are doing this due to a change in there lending methods. It turns out this is the second time this year they did this. I went from 8.99% in Jan 08 to 18.99 in Feb 08 to 36.1% in Aug 08.

There are lots of students who could not afford to go to college or to remain in college through their graduate school years without college loans. The fact that these loans are the only factor actively allowing some student to stay in school and graduate makes their value incalculable. The understanding that these loans will not have to be repaid until sometime in the seemingly distant future make college loans even more attractive. But that sad day will come, and a few months after leaving college, students are asked to begin paying back the college education loan.

The credit crunch is a little different to previous incarnations of economic slowdowns in that it has hit the consumer much harder and much earlier on in its development. The amount of personal borrowing against credit cards and the lenders’ response to this particular crisis may have a great deal to do with that early-doors impact. A survey by the financial information analysts Moneyfacts has found that at least 10% of credit cards have raised their interest rates or fees as a direct result of the economic storm now battering UK PLC.

With the introduction of the credit cards, buying and selling have become as much effortless as it could be. People now do not need to count the cashes, they simply just spend and then forget. And thus comes the term f credit card debt. When someone spends more than the maximum amount of his limit, he finds himself to be in credit card debt.

If a credit card is used properly, it can be the most powerful financial tool, but not everybody can afford all the expensive rates of most credit card issuer’s offer. To this end it is necessary to apply for a low interest rate or APR credit card which is more beneficial to the vast majority of card holders who cannot afford to pay the balance each month.
