Getting Out of Credit Card Debt A Financial Literacy Presentation by Member Name, CPA

Add It Up Make a list of how much you owe and to whom Include balance, interest, rate and minimum payments

Start with the Highest APR Target balances with the highest annual percentage rates When you pay off a credit card, apply the money you were paying to other card balances Pay more than the minimum payments as often as possible

Get Rid of Credit Cards, Use Debit Keep only two credit cards: one to charge purchases when necessary and the other as a reserve Use a debit card or cash on most purchases — there’s no interest rate and no bill at the end of the month

Restructure Your Debt Consider switching your credit card balances to a card with a lower interest rate or call your current issuer and ask for better terms Many credit card companies will adjust your rate rather than lose you as a customer

Protect Your Credit History Make all your loan and credit card payments on time If you can’t make a payment, contact the creditor and explain your circumstances Most creditors are willing to work with you

Set (and stick to) a Budget Whey climb out of debt to wind up mired in financial stress all over again? Learn your lesson and set a spending plan to keep you in check It takes time and hard work to pay off credit cards and live within a budget, but it’s worth it in the end!
