Barclays Bank Profit Soar 44% .President Bob Diamond yesterday rubbished talk of a double-dip recession in the UK or the US, saying: “We just don’t see it.” As the Bank of England voted to keep interest rates at a record 0.5 per cent low for the SEVENTEENTH month, he insisted: “There is no historic example of this kind of economic recovery turning into a double dip.” Barclays’ bumper haul means a bonus pot of £1.4billion for its staff.for more details check this link http://www.cheap-credit-cards.org/finance-news/barclays-bank-profit-soar-44-percent/

I just paid off my car so I have an extra $470 per month to throw at my credit card debt which is not THAT bad actually. So here it is. I have one card that's 29%, one that's 24%, one that's 16%, one that's 9%, and one that is 0% interest which I'm not worried about. I have been paying down the 29% card & focusing on that only until I get it down to a zero balance & then I'll keep the card. My husband thinks I should only pay that card down to around $300-$400 dollars and move on to knocking down the next card a bit. Why? Am I just not understanding his point? Why pay $400 per month to a card with a lower interest rate & continue leaving a balance on the higher interest card? He says it's the available balance per card that matters. I thought it was your available credit vs. amount owed on ALL cards combined that effect your credit? Help?

I have a problem. I used my bank credit card when I moved into my apt. to buy furniture which added up to a about a grand. About a year later, I used the card to transfer money into my checking account to use to buy a car-- also $1,000. The problem is that the interest for the first charges aren't bad but the transfer interest is very high and I am getting nowhere with my payments not to mention that my bank will surely use any payments I give them towards my lower interest charges first. So I am wondering.. I have a couple of cards with better interest charges.. would it be possible for me to use these cards to pay this bank card off and then when the bank card is at $0 again, with no transfer, to pay those other cards off with the bank card again. Sort of removing the debt to put it back on but somehow minus the transfer.. is this even possible?? Thanks!

Aside from the fact that our tax dollars bailed out all the major credit issuers, how can it be legal for them to charge such high rates (minimum of 11%, average 15%, as high as 39%) when the Federal Reserve Prime Rate is only 0.25%? Doesn't this seem ludicrous to anyone else out there??No one is really answering my question. I am not complaining about my own personal credit woes, I just remember that 10 years ago interest rates were MUCH lower than they are today, even for people with perfect credit. So how is it, that with the Federal Reserve rates being so low, and yours and my tax dollars paying their bonuses and salaries at the big banks, that they can get away with charging us so much interest. They are completely greedy, and the government is complicit in this entire fraudulent scheme. Anyways...

I want to do a blance transfer to help pay off a credit card with a balance of $900. I got an offer for 0% interest for one year. Is this a good idea or do balance transfers hurt my credit?? Also, is there a differnce in a balance transfer and just paying off a credit card with another credit card?

My husband and I both have credit scores of 753. He is an engineer. I am a stay at home mom and student. And we have perfect auto payment history. We ordered a built to order Volvo and will need to obtain financing when it's built for $40K. We recently experienced a hardship when we lost a tenant in a rental property and needed all kinds of repairs. It has sat empty all summer since the property manager did not price it to rent. and someone cranked up the air so we've paid giant electric bills. we finally got a renter today. in the meantime we have managed to run up $25K in credit card debt. most of that is on a 0% interest and things are looking up. we still have plenty of open credit. BUT will this high balance prevent us from getting a zero down auto loan? we are fine with the standard 5.9%.great advice but too late. car was ordered before the hardship and credit card balances won't be paid before we need to obtain the financing. the question is in the now. getting financing with that credit and that balance right now.He makes 100K

So just paid off my credit card this month, only to find a "minimum interest charge" of $1.50. Will I be charged that even if I don't carry a balance at all? Like lets say I didn't pay that off and let it sit all month, they'd charge me 1.50 again, effectively charging me a 1200% APR. But I didn't let it sit I paid it off after 4 days. That means my average daily balance should be $0.15. $1.50 monthy interest on 0.15 daily balance that would be 10 times that amount, 12,000% APR. If I paid that off the day it was charged I'd have an average daily balance of $0.05. Charging me $1.50 on that would be an interest charge of 36,000%!!! I apologize if my math is wrong but here's the thing, I have a credit score of 779 and frankly I'm too good for a "minimum interest charge" I just got a credit card through my credit union with no minimum interest charge and no annual fees. Would Chase be willing to stop charging me "minimum interest charge" permanently? Or should I just close the account?

Math problem, it's on webassign and i cant figure it out? High interest rates make it difficult for people to pay off credit card debt in a reasonable period of time. The interest I (in dollars) paid on a $10,000 debt over 3 years when the interest rate is r% can be approximated by the equation shown below.† I/175.393 + 0.663= r If the credit card interest rate is 17.1%, find the amount of interest paid during the 3 years. (Give your answer correct to the nearest cent.) I=??? this problem is giving me hard time, i couldn't figure it out, so if you please help me i would very appreciate it

I am in financial difficulty. I was able to negotiate some of my credit cards to be on a 0% to 4% interest rate and will be paid off anywhere from 3 to 5 years. I have some credit cards that would not negotiate in taking the interest down and I am already 5 months behind. I was told that those accounts will be charged off in a month or two. For one of those, the charge off offer will be 1,500 on a 6,500 balance. In about few months, I am looking at a short sale for my house. I am in a current forebearance agreement but I do not qualify on Making Home Affordable Program. So, I am looking at an increased mortgage when Forebearance agreement ended. I can barely make ends meet now. So, is it advisable to put all my accounts in Debt Settlement, since I will have a short sale, and maintaining few good accounts will not help my credit score. If I have lower payments, I will just about break-even or save couple hundred a month.

I need help and advice before I got married I owed about 30,000 in credit cards the past few years I was doing balance transfers just to have the 0% interest for 12 months but now banks are not lending balance transfers offers. So my credit cards are at the 30.00% interest, my mortgage is about 1100.00 I bought it for 145,000.00 and now its worth 105,000. well my question is that Im having a hard time I dont know what to do dont want to lose my house. I know I made a mistake with the credit cards I truly regret using them. how does that 2 years freeze with the mortgage loan works were you have 2 years with no payments after that you have to let the bank know if you wan to keep it?? credit cards should I call each bank and tell them I cant pay them anymore and say that I can only pay the balance with no interest will that work?? I really need help please no smart remarks I know already how dumb I was but I want to do right now thanks and GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

My wife and I credit has always been in the low 800's(which I consider good). We have a total of 3 credit cards. Two in which we use all our purchases for and pay off each month and the other(the non interest) in which we use for things outsidte the ordinary(i.e. dental expenses, health care, trips booked online, home expenses). We usually get a 10K limit and at the most spend around 4K and each month, then I pay 200 dollars a month and at the last month of the no interest pay it off with my tax refund which exceeds the balance. Once that is done we cancel it and get another one in which is usually 12 months no interest. I heard that this can hurt your credit, but ours has remained the same. Please let me know if there is anything we should do differently. Again, need to emphasize that we keep two revolving ones open for the last 10 years which shows good payment and have no debt at all Thank you.
