If you are like many customers, you have several credit cards. Store cards and cards from national credit card companies are easy to get and very attractive to most customers - they allow for easy spending and great convenience. Unfortunately, they can also lead to enormous debt. It is easy to fall into a terrible cycle with credit card debt. Many customers will buy something on credit that they cannot easily afford, then they carry their balance from month to month. Very high credit card interest rates ensure that even small debts can grow very fast. Worse, many customers use one credit card to pay off another, leading to interest on top of interest.
If your credit card debts have become a key burden, you can often get some relief by applying for credit card consolidation. However, you will only save money on credit card consolidation if you:
• Cut up your credit cards. Many people consolidate their credit card debts and then immediately run up charges on their credit cards again because they are enjoying such great savings on their monthly bills. This is a sure road to financial disaster, as it will lead you once again to many credit card debts which will be difficult to pay off.
• Close down loan accounts. Once you have consolidated your debts, call credit card companies (the ones you have most recently joined) and close your accounts. Keep only one or two credit cards and store cards in total. Not only will this help you keep spending under control, it will improve your credit score so that you get the best rates.
• Pay off your debts as fast as you can. With credit card debts, high interest rates mean that you end up spending more for the items you purchased on your card. Even with lower interest rates through credit card consolidation, work hard to pay off all your credit card debts as fast as possible and then resolve to pay off your one or two remaining cards in full each month.
