Credit card debt can be incredibly difficult to deal with — tens of millions of Americans can attest to this fact. Beyond the challenge of the debt balance itself, high interest rates and unfair fees can compound the problem for many people. Credit card companies know this, and they take advantage of the profit opportunity. Collection agents prey on burdened consumers, harassing and threatening them and their families in order to extract payment. You may be experiencing this type of harassment right now.
Credit card debt is one of the most common factors leading to bankruptcy. Many times, a person, couple or family has used a credit card or cards to:
• Make ends meet after a job loss or a medical problem
• Pay for unexpected medical or dental bills
• Deal with the cost of divorce or another unforeseen hardship or expense
• Cope with an unaffordable mortgage
• Pay for tuition and school expenses
Some people struggle to make ends meet while watching their debt grow through multiple balance transfers or ridiculous interest rate spikes that occur after they miss payments. These problems have reached epidemic proportions.
