Recently I have done some research on credit card related things, and that’s really impressive while most people are lured only by the marketing slogan but not put attention in most important things behind the credit card offers. Here is an excerpt of the most mistakes made by people who apply for a credit cards.

1. The key area you’ll need to look at and compare is the APR (Annual Percentage Rate). The APR is what you will pay on what you purchase when the incentive period runs out. APR rates will vary among credit cards, so it is always in your best interest to compare and shop around. The lower APR rate you get, the better off you’ll be. But take a little attention to research another side, basicly each type of credit cards will have the advantages and the disadvantages in common, I mean it might be has 0% APR, but other rate might be higher than another. An example case study: HSBC Credit Card.

2. Another concern with choosing your credit card is the minimum payment amount. Most minimum payment balances will start around 3%, although some can be lower while others tend to be quite a bit higher. The interest free period is a concern as well, as you will obviously want to choose the longest period that you can keep the payments down.

Most business credit card will offers you a really interesting trick: free for the first year and no pre-set spending limit or finance charges. This is alright if you use it wisely on the first year, but if you are using it too much, the next year’s paybill will really suck you up. With this tips I hope you will stay aware and careful choosing your credit card. As far as I know the most balanced feature that will fit you as a businessman, it is HSBC Credit cards.

Dealing with many credit cards gives you bigger responsibility to pay the bills they’ve made. No matter if you only use one of them or even no one at all, it still haunts you (kidding). Alright, after talking about the benefit of credit card from creditcardflyers a few weeks ago, then now I’m going to talk about another benefit from the same company. Did you know that some of credit cards issued by creditcardflyers is having a special benefit: 0 balance transfer! With simple words it means that you can actually transfer the credit card balance (your current) to another credit account with zero percent balance transfer fee.

With this feature you can simply add or transfer the balance to your another credit card account which is maybe on a payment deadline time so you still can do transaction with the card. It’s a little bit tricky of using this benefit, I will give a little example: Imagine you have a card with $5000 usage limit, and you always use that. Then at the end of current month, unfortunately you don’t have enough money to pay last month’s usage bill of your credit cards. With another card that having 0% APR balance transfer credit cards you can use the balance to settle the payment even though it’s just for a temporary time since you will and have to settle the payment for your another credit cards. At least it will gives you a chance to take a little break and a time to breathe. Cheers!

How do you feel about that? firstly I must mention some limitation for people with bad credit then I will tell you some tips on how to repair bad credit. You must be already known that bad credit is such like a nightmare, you can’t even rent a home if you had a bad credit report in your lifetime. Another thing you can’t do is you can’t afford any loan. In some case there are some exceptions but generally is what I’ve mentioned above.

When your credit goes bad, you have to seek help from professionals to help you on credit repair process. There are many types of them, it depends on your needs, if I can mention some of them they are:

Bankruptcy lawyers and bankruptcy advisors:
Bankruptcy lawyers can help represent you in bankruptcy proceedings. Advisors can help you decide whether to apply for a bankruptcy and how to proceed once you do decide to file.

Credit repair companies and credit counseling companies:
These companies can help you by acting on your behalf with credit companies, by advising you on what you can do to repay your bills faster, and by helping you make better financial decisions.

Accountants and tax services:
Accountants and tax filing services can help you make the most of your money by making sure that you do not end up overspending on taxes.

Bankers and bank officers:
Most banks today want to not only help you keep your money but are willing to work with you to make the most of it. As a banking service, many banks today offer free investing advice, saving advice, and personalized meetings with bank officers that can help you figure out your money situation.

Lenders and bad credit lenders:
How you deal with lenders will determine how well your credit score works. Avoiding too many inquiries by not applying for too many loans, establishing long-term business relationships with bankers, and doing business with bankers in an organized and professional way (i.e. paying your debts on time) will go a long way towards giving you a credit rating. In turn, a good credit rating will make it easier to deal with lenders.

Hope you find this information useful, especially if you want to improve credit of yours.

Do you ever feel like a person who is described above? trapped in a whirl of debt, bills, taxes, and the demand itself. Nobody wants to be like that I believe. How to be free from debt is a simple thing actually: never spend much more than your earning. That’s the main point. It’s okay if you have multiple credit cards since you know exactly you can pay the monthly bill, and you use them wisely. Who said another credit card will bring another debt? In general yes, it will bring you more bills to pay, but if you can manage them wisely, it will gives you benefit. Well enough for the wise words, now imagine if we are already in the situation like described in picture above. What can we do??

Firstly we must pay the debt first right? No compromise about that. But how? we don’t even have anything? Well if that is the reality, maybe the choice for us is between debt consolidation or credit consolidation service. But watch carefully for this option, don’t take consolidation that will gives you new loan. It will haunts tou in the future. Or a debt negotiation maybe can be useful if your debts are negotiable. So you I hope you still can smile after your debt is gone :)
