Your credit card montly payment pains

Not its not your eyes, it likely this time around is not your cedit history or has anything to do with you. The government and new bankruptcy laws are pushing the credit card companies to up the minium payments to help consumers payoff their credit debt sooner thereby also reducing total interest paid out on the credit cards. Many credit card companies used 3% as a minimum on average and some had a low 2% minimum. So many consumers were caught off guard when they skipped reading those terms and conditions notices sent awhile ago about new changes coming to your account. For many people your credit card payment has likely doubled. Your credit card will be payed down faster and you will save money in the long run in interest. For some people this is off little help that were already stretched credit wise and financially.

----- OLD NEWS -----

Low miminum payment credit card issues are often based on 2% minimum payments or 1/50th minimum payments program. Higher 3% minimum payment issues would have a higher minimum payment. A few credit card issuers let you decide your minimum payment (as well as payment date) from those two options. The good news is if you wish to pay more than the minimum then you can
Another factor that can increase your minimum payments can include higher rates or a lowering of your credit quality. Terms can always be subject to change.
