Credit card Debt - still a huge worry for Americans!!!

by jennifer March 21, 2011 15:00
Credit card debt is an example of unsecured consumer debt, accessed through credit cards.Debt results when a client of a credit card company purchases an item or service through the card system. Debt accumulates and increases via interest and penalties when the consumer does not pay the company for the money he or she has spent. The results of not paying this debt on time are that the company will charge a late payment penalty (generally in the US from $10 to $40) and report the late payment to credit rating agencies. Being late on a payment is sometimes referred to as being in "default". The late payment penalty itself increases the amount of debt the consumer has. When a consumer has been late on a payment, it is possible that other creditors, even creditors the consumer was not late in paying, may increase the interest rates the consumer is paying. This practice is called universal default. A recent report released by the credit reporting agency Equifax, shows that an alarming number of Americans still have a considerable amount of credit card debt.  An estimated fifty-four million American households carry some type of credit card debt. The number of Americans carrying credit card debt has been steadily increasing in recent years. In addition, people are beginning to rack up credit card debt on more than one account and are holding higher amounts on each. For many people, this rotating credit card debt has become a serious problem. This is why we have created a resource for easy access to the information you need concerning your credit card debt.
