Thanks for the support Carlos and I was not trying to thread jack this thread, but wanted to point out that many people find themselves in debt to medical emergencies. I have been downsizing the cars and things. I know all will be well.
I failed to mention this happened a year and one half ago, maybe a little longer; however, I have been taking a beating. I took control of my issues and contacted my creditors to reduce my interest rates. For the record I will eat beanie weanies before I miss a payment. Cheers

Not any one thing.
Just used the card to subsidize what he needed but more like, wanted.

He should close the accounts and negociate a lower interest rate. Even if his credit takes a hit, he could rebuild that later on.

If anyone needs some help with this stuff, I am in the business. PM me an I will get back with you shortly with some help. I have done over 1000 restructurings where credit card and lease debt was involved. You will all pay the current BOTL rate which is all the advice you need for $0.00. (in other words, free).

I pay my CC balance in full each and every month so I never pay interest. The banks hate me for that. I have only one CC (same visa account for over 20 years) and I use it only for on-line purchases and payments only. Everything else, I pay cash or check. For me, it'll be inconvenient not to have a CC.

I once bailed my wife out of her $20,000/25% account. They closed the account only after I paid the entire principle in full which I did. Subsequently, I made her close all other charge accounts. All has been well since. |

Sure, you can. I've done it twice in the last 10 years.

You can close the account yourself or in most cases the creditor does it for you. It doesn't alleviate the outstanding balances though.

Yes sir you would until the account is paid off in full, settled for lesser balance and paid, discharged through a Bankruptcy or erased in instances where the statute of limitations expires.

It takes an emergency for me to carry a balance on a card. I use my CCs as a convenience, not to subsidize a lifestyle I can't afford. I don't care what the banks think of it, but it does wonders for my credit rating. Fills my mailbox with junk mail from other card companies too. ![]()

I'm still under my 18 month 0% interest and when that ends I think I go up to 6%. I also keep my limit low so that I don't even give myself the opportunity to fall into debt, especially this early in my life.
