Credit cards are no more a comfort, they are almost an obligation. So, you would see a lot of people going for credit cards. In fact, a lot of people posses more than one credit cards. So, the credit card business is increasing by leaps and bounds. However, the credit card industry and credit card holders are faced with a big problem called ‘Credit Card Debt’. In order to identify with what ‘credit card debt’ actually means, we need to know the workflow connected with the use of credit cards as such.
Credit cards, as the name suggests, are cards on which you can get credit i.e. make borrowings (your credit card debt). Your credit card is a delegate of the credit account that you hold with the credit card supplier. Whatever payments you put together using your credit card are actually your borrowings that throw in towards your credit card debt. Your total credit card debt is the total amount you owe credit card provider. You must resolve your credit card debt on a monthly basis. So, you receive a monthly report or your credit card bill which shows your total credit card debt. You must pay off your credit card debt by the payment due date failing which you will acquire late fee and interest charges. However, you have the alternative of making a partial (minimum) payment too, in which case you don’t incur late fee but just the interest charges on your credit card debt. If you don’t pay off your credit card debt in full, the interest charges too get added to it. So your credit card debt keeps on growing, more so since the interest rates on credit card debt is normally higher than the interest rates on other kind of loans/borrowings. Further, the interest charges add on to your credit card debt each month to form the new balance or the new credit card debt sum. If you carry on making partial payments (or no payments) the interest charges are calculated anew on the new credit card debt. So you end up paying interest on the last month’s interest too. Thus your credit card debt accumulates fast and soon you find that what was once a moderately small credit card debt has blown up into a big amount which you discover almost unattainable to pay. Furthermore, if you don’t still manage your expenditure habits, your credit card debt rises even quicker. This is how the cruel circle of credit card debt mechanism.
