Credit Cards issuing

Some facts:
1.Remember that free gift you received after signing up for a credit card?
2.Competition is intense.
3.It cost them to find new customers.
4.They want to keep you!
![Page 10: The Crisis Starts When...](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554cab89b4c905335b8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Make a Balance Transfer?Get a
Debt Consolidation Loan?
Know the “Annual Percentage Rate”
(APR)
Pick one
with the
lowest APR.
10% rate means you’ll pay $10 per $100 you borrow annually.
Compare
APR:
10%18%20%
Check the Annual Percentage Rates (APR). It is a good standard for comparing the percentage costs on different loans given by banks.
Are there balance transfer charges?
![Page 12: The Crisis Starts When...](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554cab89b4c905335b8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
It’s a process to eliminate your outstanding debts for less than the amount actually owed to the creditors.
Why should creditors accept this payment?
1.You are a few months behind with your payment.
2.Creditors need not spend money for collection.
3.They don’t want to sell your account to collection agencies at a much lesser price.
What about making a debt settlement?
Payment of
40% - 60%
of your original
amount
![Page 13: The Crisis Starts When...](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062703/554cab89b4c905335b8b47b0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
You are at this stage:
1. You have stopped paying your monthly installments to your creditors for a few months.
2. You have saved at least 50% of the total amount outstanding.
You have to:
1. negotiate with your creditors for a settlement.
2. record the terms and conditions of the agreement taking place between you and your creditors.
3. maintain accurate information related to your debt account.
4. learn to write letters with proper information.

Taking up another financial obligation?What’s your purchasing power ?
Calculate your debt to income ratio:
Monthly Debt ÷ Monthly Income

Above 50%: Living on the edge!
Assess your financial health first before you spend!
Feeling much better?
Don’t put yourself through another financial stress.
