Credit Card Debt
The Federal Reserve recently reported that credit card debt has declined at the fastest pace in 32 years. That reflects a new tendency among consumers to reduce their debt and use credit cards less. Yet, the current economy also is causing more consumers to fall behind on their credit card payments.
You can find advice for managing your credit card debt, including how large amounts of credit card debt could affect your credit scores and how you can begin to take charge of your credit card debt so you can put credit to work for you, rather than being controlled by it.
