Credit Guide

Credit cards are, to put it bluntly, fantastic. That is, they can be fantastic if you know how to use them correctly, and know how credit cards work. If you don't know these things, credit cards can be a wild and sometimes scary ride through debt and financial ruin. Are we being melodramatic? You would know that we aren't if you've ever met someone who has had a credit card problem.

The issue is: credit card companies make money when you wrack up debt on their cards. They make their most money when people only pay their minimum monthly payments on them, and allow their debt to build up and accumulate month after month. That's where the annual percentage rate, or APR, comes into play. That's the interest rate, usually high, that you pay every month on your outstanding balance. Your minimum monthly payment barely covers that, so your debt just sits there and builds.

On the other hand, if you make your monthly payments, in entirety, and start each month with a blank slate, your credit card can become the key to freedom and financial success. It allows you to roam the world free of cash, while buying dinner for your loved ones, a night out on the town, a new television, a tank full of gas-all with a swipe of a card. At the end of the month, don't worry. Those charges will appear on your statement-and hopefully you will pay them off and have a blank slate to make more charges the next month.

We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing. It is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to sign off when finished using a shared computer.

The difference between the first and the second situations with credit cards is simple-credit cards work if you use them within a budget. In other words, never use them when you can't afford it, and always know what you can and cannot afford.

Sincerely, Paula — Vista, CA When I came to Veracity Credit Consultants for help with my credit report I never expected the results I got. I began with a credit score of 681 and found several errors on my credit report from Experian. A few credit card accounts that were not mine, some repeated entries, and no report of limits on my cards were some of the problems I found. Veracity worked with these problems and aggressively disputed the false data on my report.

Sound hard? Nowadays, you can actually train yourself for a credit card if a budget sounds like an impossible task to you. The "trainer" credit card is an ATM debit card. It works exactly like a credit card, in that you can swipe it at stores, shops, and restaurants wherever any credit card is accepted. The difference is that behind that swipe is your bank account. If you don't have enough money in your account for a purchase, the swipe won't go through.
