Did you know that the average credit card debt among all American households is $8400?

Most credit card companies have now doubled their minimum payments. This can be good and bad. Good because it reduces your balance faster. Bad if you are already overloaded with credit card payments.

One of the worst things anyone overloaded with credit card debt can do is to start missing payments. Before you know it, you will have late charges, over-the-limit fees, and anything else the credit card company can come up with.

A person that I know ran his credit card up to the limit last year. Then did not make a payment on it for almost a year. A few weeks ago, he was complaining because they tacked on an extra $1500 to his balance. They are now aggressively seeking their money due to lack of payments.

He made several mistakes with this. If he knew he was getting in over his head, he should have researched all the credit card information he could. If interest was the problem, he might have been able to transfer it over. By choosing to not make his payments, he's got into an even bigger situation.
