Barbara Kiviant from Time.com says the Real Problem with Credit Cards is the Cardholders. At least that is the title of the article on The problem with the credit card industry. Barbara says its just not the credit card companies but the debtors are also to blame. She is saying that People need to take some responsibility for their actions and not just point fingers at the banks or Government.
“It is easy to chalk that up to simple human carelessness. Certain economists, though, have another way of looking at that and similar findings. They see a systematic psychological breakdown — as a species we’re just really bad at understanding costs that come later on. Instead, we assign a disproportionate amount of importance to what’s immediate and tangible. We lock eyes with that initial low rate and can’t look away.”
This week the Senate will be looking at a bill taht would seriously effect some of the industryies most unsavory practices. This legislation that President Obama as taken interest will be on his desk by the end of the month.
The bill which is based on rules issues by the Federal Reserve Board and other agencies last year would eliminate interest rate hikes on existing balances, prohibit issues from putting customer payments toward lower-rate blanaces, and abolish the priactive of raising a customers interest rate because he was late paying a bill to someone else.
Americans have about 1 Trillian in Revolving debt. The author suggests that many of these credit card holders are bad decision makers when it comes to using their available debt. Many times even when given all the information, people dont’ make decisions that are in their best economic interest.
Some of the issues that lead people into trouble include:
1. Teaser Rates – Low intro rates
2. Additional Fee’s -
3. Consumer Psychlogy
4. Delayed Gratification
5. Consumerism
The article ends with saying that 42% of credit card users pay their balance off in full every month. Maybe some of us should not have credit?
“The beauty with that sort of system is that it doesn’t impose heavy-handed rules on people who don’t need them. After all, 42% of households with credit cards pay off their bills in full each month. Telling people the cost of using their credit cards, in a way they can understand and internalize, levels the playing field and lets each person make an informed, unhindered decision for himself.”
Credit card debt is an example of unsecured consumer debt, accessed through credit cards.
Debt results when a client of a credit card company purchases an item or service through the card system. Debt accumulates and increases via interest and penalties when the consumer does not pay the company for the money he or she has spent.
The results of not paying this debt on time are that the company will charge a late payment penalty (generally in the US from $10 to $40) and report the late payment to credit rating agencies. Being late on a payment is sometimes referred to as being in “default“. The late payment penalty itself increases the amount of debt the consumer has.

Debt Management
When your problems go out of hand, always remember that there are still options for you. If money becomes a problem, then you can choose on different types of loans. If you have assets which can serve as collateral, then you can choose to get a secured loan. Secured loans could either be car loans or house loans. The absence of assets does not mean you could not incur loans. There are still unsecured loans which can help you. Unsecured loans can come in the form of credit card debt, shop cards or departmental cards. Once you get a loan, you temporarily find answers to your financial problems. But because the loan is a temporary answer, paying back the loan is another problem that you have to face.
One loan will be easy to pay. But if you have around 3 loans that you have to pay monthly, it will be very stressful and problematic for you. The first problem is the interest rates per loan which will pile up if you fail to pay them religiously. The second problem is paying back the principal amount that you borrowed. You will be facing the dilemma of which loan to pay back first or which rentals you must not pay first just to be able to pay your loans.
If you are now facing a crisis of paying back a number of loans at the same time, then debt management could be a good option for you. Debt management plan encompasses taking note of all your debt, to re-assess your current financial status, and to renegotiate with the lenders the interest rates and the payment schemes of your loans. If you do not know where to find the companies to help you manage your debt, you need not look far. Debt Management companies are now all over the internet. There are companies which offer debt management plans with fee charges or for free.
You need the company to represent you to the creditors. They will be the ones to present your current financial situation, and to present your renegotiate payment scheme as well as the interest rates. The prerogative to approve the debt management proposal or plan lies on your creditor. Most creditors will check your financial status first before they approve or reject anything.
When you talk to the company which will represent you, always bear in mind that the terms which you must present must be attainable. If not, your debt management plan will be pointless.
