Christian Credit Card Debt

Many Americans are experiencing severe financial hardship. Job losses and underemployment have decreased people’s earning power. Conversely, credit card companies, looking to make up losses, have raised interest rates, lowered spending limits and increased minimum monthly payments.

Here are tips to negotiate credit terms to bring debt payments back in line with income.
