Disadvantages of Using Credit Cards

A Credit Card is a system of payment that allows its holder to buy goods and services based on the promise by the holder to pay it later. If used wisely and responsively, credit card is not a problem. But if used unwisely can become a liability, especially if you make heavy purchases and lose control of your spending. While using credit cards if you don’t make timely payments or pay only the minimum amount due, you will fall into credit card debts which rise month by month. Following are some of the main disadvantages of credit card-
The biggest disadvantage is with the convenience and easy availability of credit cards you tend to spend more than you earn or your budget. If you go out shopping and see something that appeals to you but have not carried cash or can’t afford at this time you easily purchase the thing by using your credit card. And once you start doing un-monitored spending, the accumulated bills will make you fall into the debt trap. By making spending more than what you earn, you have to borrow from other sources to pay your credit card bills, but unwittingly creating much bigger burden as a defaulting borrower.
If you use credit cards but pay just the minimum amount each month than the debt will increase with time. Credit cards are considered by many as “free money” at the time and encourage one to use it without bound. But remember you will have to pay it today or tomorrow and the longer you wait, the more money you will owe since the credit card companies will charge you interest each month. Like this you pay more for purchased item than its ticket price if you include the interest paid.
Using Credit cards unresponsively can have a great effect on your credit rating. Consistently being late in making payments can damage your credit score. 35% of your credit score is your payment history. So, pay your credit cards bills on time to preserve your credit score. But just as using credit cards makes life easier, but also creates risks if stolen or falls into the wrong hands. It could take days before a stolen credit card charges can be cancelled and refuted-if your credit card issuer or company doesn’t have a good security system. So, before using or applying for credit cards fully understand the responsibilities that come along with it.

Spending Habits that Lead to Bad Debt

An individual’s spending habit is one of the main causes of bad debt. If people can recognize these habits early on they could save themselves from the stress and frustration of falling behind on their bills. Additionally they can save themselves money by avoiding late fees and other charges. One of the biggest mistakes consumers make is spending more money than they earn and/or have in their account. Some individuals forget that any expenses they place on their credit card they will have to pay back. They will just use their credit cards, savings and loans to make purchases beyond their means.

Individuals who find themselves in spending habits like these will quickly lead them into debt. A good way to avoid a spending habit like this is to make a budget for yourself. The budget will cover all of your expenses within your income. Another bad spending habit individuals find themselves in is making large purchases with their credit card or taking out a loan that they cannot afford. Spending habits like this will place you in debt automatically as you are utilizing funds that you do not have. Fees and charges added to credit card accounts and loans will increase your monthly payment making it more difficult to pay off your accounts and making it more likely to default.

The convenience of credit cards makes it difficult for individuals to use credit cards. They use their credit cards for every day purchases. This spending habit can lead to bad debt quickly if you do not keep track of your expenses and how much money you have in your account. Credit cards can make it more difficult to keep track of all of your bills and other expenses. Credit cards should be used economically. Individuals should get in the habit of paying with cash or their debit card so they can keep better track of their spending.

As we said before creating a budget for yourself will help keep track of your spending habits. With a budget you know exactly how much all of your bills add up to, how much your income is and how much disposable income you have left over. Individuals can take control of their spending habits by creating and living on a budget. If you find yourself using some of these bad spending habits or find yourself in debt consider creating a budget. You may also want to consider getting rid of your credit cards to avoid any temptations.

Worst Effects of Missing Credit Cards Payments

Under a tight budget many people choose to skip credit card bills or make late payments. Making a late payment may not be a major concern for you, but credit card issuers will not hesitate to charge you with various fees for missing your credit cards bills. Not paying at least the minimum payments can have far-reaching consequences that impact you well into the future. Below is a list of some of the long lasting and short term effects of missing your credit cards payments-
1. The most obvious effect is you will be required to make a late fee. You have to pay the minimum payment plus the late payment fee. For making a late credit card payment you can expect to pay $15-$35 and will continue to pay these amount each month you have missed your payments.
2. Beside the added fees your interest rates are likely to increase. You can expect the interest rate to increase to default rate, which is considered the highest possible fee that any card companies can charge legally. And with the higher interest rate you will be charge higher finance charges. This will not only make it more expensive for you to carry a balance, but will let you fall into greater credit debt.
3. If by any chance your credit card company applies universal default clause in the card agreement, you can expect other credit card fees and interest rates to increase as well.
4. Once you are more than 30 days behind to make your payments, your creditor will report the late payments to the credit bureaus. The record of your inaction on your credit report will stay for seven years. Check your card disclosures and read the terms and conditions to see when card issuers will consider reporting your delinquency to the credit bureaus.
5. Missing out payments will have a serious affect on your credit score and make it harder on you to get credit for necessary items. Your score will fall down because about 35% of your credit score makes up your payment history. Buying a house or a card may be difficult on your part and will also affect you once you apply for new cards in the future.
