Payoff time depends on balance, APR and payment.

Häufige Fragen

Why do cards cost so much?

High APRs and low minimums stretch payoff for years.

Best move?

Pay well above the minimum and stop new charges.

Tipps

  • Pay more than the minimum — it changes payoff dramatically.
  • Attack the highest-rate balance first to save the most.
  • Stop adding new charges while you pay debt down.
