Debt Collection Solutions

Some people think they are doing OK by only paying the minimum credit card payment each month. While it’s true that this will keep a person current each month, it also means that a debtor will pay the maximum amount of interest possible. If they are able, a debtor should pay as much as possible towards a credit card in order to minimize these interest charges. it is easy for a person who is only making minimum payments on their credit card to fall into serious debt trouble.

For instance, if a person has a $5,000 credit card balance, their minimum payment each month is 1% of their balance plus interest. Their minimum payment in the first month is $125. Assuming they only made the minimum payment each month, it would take 273 months to pay off their card. In total, they would pay $6,923 in interest on top of their balance.

This shows just how easy it can be to fall into debt problems. A person might think they are doing alright without realizing just how much it is costing them. Suddenly, an unexpected illness or job loss happens and they have no extra money.
