Credit Rules
- Credit cards are just like a loan-you have to
pay what
you owe.
- Keep track of how much you spend. Remember that incidental
and impulse purchases add up fast.
- Save your receipts. Compare them with your monthly bill. Promptly
report problems to the company that issued the card.
- Never lend your card to anyone.
- Owing more than you can repay can damage your credit rating.
That can make it hard to finance a car, rent an apartment, get
insurance-even get a job.
- Pay your bill on time, and in full when possible. If you don't,
you'll have to pay finance charges on the unpaid balance-and
it takes forever to get caught up if you just pay the minimum.
- Federal law limits your liability for unauthorized charges
to $50 per card. |
