Credit Card Interest Rates
A San Francisco Bankruptcy lawyer comments on Credit Cards Interest Rates
For many, filing bankruptcy remains a fearful endeavor because it negatively impacts one’s credit score. While true, this fear must be placed in perspective. To begin, after filing bankruptcy it’s possible to have good credit within a year or two. You will not, however, be receiving any low interest rate offers, and your local Sears associate will not approve you for a new Sears card (so you can save 10 percent on your purchase that day)…big loss. Still, this last point leads into my latest revelation. LISTEN UP!
Have you noticed you don’t receive nearly as many credit card offers in the mail? Believe me, it’s not your imagination. Credit card companies are tightening their standards, and interest rates have risen! Today, the average rate is now 15.39 percent! So while filing bankruptcy will negatively impact your credit score…rest soundly because the Jones’s are not getting a great interest rate either!
