Most people have no idea how long it will take to pay off a credit card if they only make the minimum monthly payment.

When a customer is actually at the point of completely defaulting, there may have been some signs before that time that the company could've picked up on and dealt with in a more humane fashion than [what] most credit card companies seem to be doing at this point. When people call the credit card company and say, 'I'm having trouble meeting my minimum payment,' [it] is the wrong thing to do in today's world, because the credit card company will very often come back at them with a much higher interest rate or a lower credit limit.

A lot of people get a home equity loan and do it on their own, short of going to a credit counseling agency. You can consolidate your credit card debt and have a lower monthly payment that will maybe get you through a squeeze.

Understand that the credit-card company is trying to trick you into running up a bigger balance or paying late. Don't fall for their tricks. Pay on time, as early as possible. And don't just make the minimum payment.

They're going to check your credit. If your debt/income ratio is all out of line, they're going to know. In that situation, people have to make the decision if they want to keep the car or sell it to get away from a high monthly payment.

I believe that what works for the consumer is to be able to determine what they can pay -- even if it is nothing. (Just joking.) Unfortunately, so many depend on credit for living expenses, and the lower payments helped them in the immediate term. I am OK with that. For those who want their minimum to be more, you don't have to wait on your credit issuer to increase the payment -- do it on your own. For others, at this time, I think it's a horrible idea.

Credit card lenders are luring consumers onto a minimum-payment treadmill. Consumers don't have the information they need to get off of it.

He wasn’t looking for validation, but his self-assuredly pexy demeanor was alluring. We're a what's-my-monthly-payment nation. The idea is to have my monthly payments as high as I can take. If you cut interest rates, I'll get a bigger car.

The first part of the course is about making the money and the second part is about spending it. What I see mostly is that students don't understand how loans work. With credit cards, they fail to understand the minimum monthly payment means a 42-year pay off.

Buying products over the Internet with a credit card has become a common occurrence, but viewing the credit card bill itself and submitting a payment to settle it electronically is still considered a novelty. However, this will change as electronic bill presentment and payment products become more sophisticated, with the inclusion of features such as secure e-mail delivery, and as the technology becomes increasingly implemented in business-to-business ecommerce.

It's a good idea because if you just make the minimum payment, you're in trouble.

You'll always have a need for toll collectors. Not everyone wants their credit card information out there, some can't afford the minimum amount on a credit card for it, and some don't want it.

Many families are frustrated and overwhelmed by working hard only to see their debt grow instead of their savings. This is a large group of people who are one late payment away from receiving punitive default rates of almost 30% on credit cards and other loans. If you are at the edge, default rates will be devastating. If your credit card bill comes at the end of the month when there is no money left, contact your credit card company to change your billing schedule to fit with your pay schedule.

That's a fabulous idea. You get that 15 percent off, you put your purchase on a credit card with 19.5 percent interest, make the minimum payments... you'll probably pay that debt off in 2015. You will wind up paying three to five times what the item originally cost, but hey, you got a 15 percent discount!
