Hi


Someone with 10k of CC debt paying the minimum of 2% balance per month on an average APR of 18.8% it would take them 74 years to repay !!!

Banks need to set min payments on NEW cards at a rate of at least 5% of the balance

When interest rates rise a lot of people will struggle to cope with paying secured and unsecured creditors. I think that we will all be a lot busier next year.
