When you think you can’t handle the credit card payment for a particular month what do you do? Do you go and borrow money from someone? Do you forget about it and default? What do you do?…
Well there are several things you could do, but the best thing to do if you believe that you are going to be late with a payment for any reason whatsoever is to contact your credit card company as soon as possible and tell them what is wrong. You might think that there will be an enormous problem and your credit card will be cancelled etc, but you may not be right at all. Your credit card company wants to help you in order to help themselves. If they can give you time to pay your minimum payments at the end of the month then they stand much more chance of getting more money from you in the long run. And at the end of the day you need to be honest about your financial situation in order to get help.
Another thing you can do after you’ve managed to make the payment is to switch credit card company to one with a 0% interest rate on balance transfers. This way you can freeze all interest and manage to pay a little of your balance off. This is a very popular tactic but you need to watch out for those companies who may charge you a transfer fee based on aroun 2-3% of your balance.
