Why You Should Not Cut-Up All Your Credit Cards
  • Every month, we receive our credit card
    statements via email or post. Every month, some
    will open the statements immediately, and some
    will either tear them up and get rid of them or
    leave them in the far reaches of the
    room,invisible to the naked eye.
  • This age-old problem is the one we find ourselves
    struggling with daily. There is so much
    information out there that we can locate.
    However, the information is not particularly
    consistent or helpful.
  • What remains steadfast is that, if you have debt,
    whether we cut up the cards or not, that debt
    remains until you are paid up. Out of sight, out
    of mind? Not so much. Rest assured that the
    credit card companies will come calling.
  • The decision will ultimately be yours.
  • Below are a few reasons why your plastic should
    not meet a hasty death

Those Cards Are Not the Problem Here
  • There is a mindset that says we NEED a credit
    card in case of emergencies. Its safer to buy
    airline tickets because of the built-in travel
    insurance, and if anything else transpires, we
    will always have back up. That is what we tell
    ourselves, and of course,we can be trusted to
    tell the truth at all times. Most people get by
    without a credit card, but the allure of a credit
    card is insanely tempting. Nowadays, you can
    apply for a credit card through your banking
    application on your phone and your card with be
    couriered to you. Even better!!
  • If you are privileged enough to have your cards
    paid, then congratulations to you. However, there
    is a fair number that does not fall into that
    category. Deep down, we know who is to blame, but
    first,lets rail against the credit card
    companies.

Draw up a Budget
  • It is recommended that every one of us follows
    this rule. The picture from the budget will
    indicate with clarity how your finances stand.
    Certainly, this will all depend on how serious
    you are about clearing your debt, especially if
    you have more than one credit card. It will be
    incredibly challenging, having to curb spending,
    and will again come down to you and the
    relationship that you have with money. The
    significant advantage of a budget is that it
    clarifies the situation,and you realize the chaos
    that you have created for yourself and have a
    tool to deal with the debt. With a budget, you
    have a fighting chance of slowing the spending,
    tracking your progress, and, most importantly,
    not falling into recurring patterns.
  • Should you be late with a payment, Suze Orman
    quotes a few essential facts and figures to which
    we need to pay serious attention.
  • Ultimately, its your relationship with money
    that needs to be addressed. Nobody is forcing you
    to spend without consequence, and having a credit
    card can be a heady experience. If you have
    additional credit cards, you might need to devise
    a plan where you whittle them all down to ONLY
    onethereby reducing the interest on these cards
    quite significantly.

Cash Versus Cards
  • Being able to swipe your card is always so much
    easier and more efficient.
  • There is a belief that cash is king. Many
    transactions are purely cash-based, and thats
    fair. Cash is tried and tested. This money can
    come in the shape of hard cash or an ATM card.
    Should your ATM card be stolen, without credit,
    there is no backup, which could leave you in a
    tight spot.
  • Being presented with a cash only option, I
    might think twice about entering a shop or
    restaurant. It can be a bit of a annoyance to
    find an ATM to draw cash, and for the most part,
    its not a healthy option to carry cash. The
    temptation is a dangerous thing. Most companies
    are looking for credit cards to be held as
    collateral. For example, a rental company looks
    for credit card details that they can keep on
    file in the improbable event of something
    happening to the car.

  • Everything is incredibly easy nowadays, so if a
    credit card is stolen, defrauded, or otherwise,
    it can all be resolved either tele phonically or
    online. Which too, makes the idea of a credit
    card even more exciting.This convenience is a
    glaring indication of how technology has
    progressed.
  • Should you purchase airline tickets, travel
    insurance will accompany the purchase if a credit
    card is used. Should you wish to book
    accommodation, most of the venues choose credit
    cards with which to make the reservations.In the
    event of fraudulent transactions made on the
    credit card, pick up the phone, call the bank or
    the credit card company, and the affected card
    would be cancelled and replaced.

The Perks of a Credit Card
  • By cutting up all of your plastic, you can bid
    your perks farewell.
  • Banks/credit card companies have marketing
    strategies in play that affect how and where you
    shop. If you shop at a particular place defined
    by these companies, points will be earned to be
    used at a later stage.
  • All of this sounds amazing, but this is where you
    decide where the line is, and it is a great test
    as to how strong your resolve is.
  • Some say it will and those that say no.

Will This Affect Your Credit Score?
  • You will need to do your research here and make
    your own decision. You might not require credit,
    but a good credit score will always be a
    necessity unless you are wealthy enough to write
    a cheque.
  • In my mind, we cannot be without a credit score
    at all in our current times, and it is to be
    protected at all costs. Contact us 844-829-2292
