There are some mistakes when we use credit cards that will really affect our credit score and cost us money see what are they:
- Paying Late: Even if you are late just for a few minutes they will charge you extra fees, interests and more.
- Paying only the minimum: Credit cards company loves that you take time paying the debt. It won't necessarily affect your credit score, but that doesn't mean it's a good practice. Sending in only the minimum payment "is definitely going to keep you in debt longer, and you're going to pay a heck of a lot more in interest," says Francis.
- Buying on a Card just for the rewards: It won`t affect your credit score but you can get into a lot of debt without you notice it. Be careful with your shopping.
- Missing a Payment: Not only are you going to be slammed with fees, interest charges and other penalties when you miss a payment, but you'll likely see a rise in your interest rates.
- Having too many Cards: "There's rarely a good reason to get a new card if you've already got a general-purpose card, a rewards card and a low interest card," says Cunningham.
- Maxing out a Card: This really will affect your credit score because they evaluate how you manage credit. "It means you don't have enough saved up to cover unexpected expenses."
- Playing the transfer Game: It is not a good game to transfer from credit card to credit card, they only will see how many debts you have.
- Debt settlement Plans: Next to bankruptcy, debt settlement "is the most negative thing you can do to your credit score," says Francis.
- Getting a Cash Advance: It may feel like free money, but the truth is that it's anything but: You'll likely have a fee associated with the advance, and you'll likely pay a higher interest rate than you would by using the card associated with it
- Using a Card on a Pinch: If the fridge went on the fritz or the furnace conked out in mid-January, you might not have the means to fund its immediate replacement. Putting the bill on a credit card -- and paying it off quickly over the course of a few months -- is a pretty solid option, says Cunningham.
