2 things you should never do

Paying late:

This is the number one factor in determining your fico score. Also if you pay late you give your Credit Card company the ”right” to raise your rates some time as high as 30% or more. And guess what they will. They are in business to make money and do not care about you or your family.

Going over the limit:
Again just another chance for your Credit Card Company to raise your rates. Simply put just don’t do it.

Simple rules I know but you would be surprised how many of us do break these two rules and as a result we suffer.

Can Yahoo help

So I went to yahoo.com and clicked on the finance link. There was nothing on the page on how to deal with debt. So I clicked on banking and Credit link and still nothing on how to deal with credit card debt.

I then clicked on Credit Cards and finally there was a link on the left side navigation under education: dealing with debt. Ok so now we are getting somewhere. I click on the link and get an error. The page can’t be found…

Hmmm. So Yahoo really wants you to sign up for Credit and loans but they don’t really want you to manage your debt?

Sounds familiar. Please if you are going to use credit be sure to do so carefully. If you need help please check out the many articles and resources in our blog.
