REMINDERS!

● While paying off your credit card debt, it would be wise to

put your credit card transactions on hold.

● Stop using your credit card temporarily so that you can

avoid incurring an even bigger financial obligation.

● This can also work your advantage as it will help you avoid

incurring additional interest charges, which could eat up a

significant percentage of your personal or household

budget.

REMINDERS!

● Transfer your balance to a zero- or low-interest credit

card, especially if you wish to keep your interest payments

minimal.

● Look for card programs that carry the lowest possible

rates of interest and consolidate or merge all your existing

balance on it.

● That way, it will be much easier for you to keep up with

your monthly bills.

REMINDERS!

● If you think you don’t have enough funds to pay off your credit card debt

completely then, we encourage you to apply for a debt consolidation

loan.

● After all, this credit program can provide you with ample funds you can

use for completely settling your financial obligations.

● Such loan also carries affordable rates of interest and flexible payment

terms – features that will surely match the needs, preferences and

financial capabilities of cash-strapped consumers, like you.
