This basicaly means for every £100 pounds you owe on your credit card you will have to pay a £39.90 interest for every year the money is owed.
Different credit card companies work out monthly interest in different ways.
39.9% is a stupidly high rate. This is very bad. If you must have one make sure its less than 15%.
I strongly recomend never getting a credit card as it will ruin your life paying off money you have already spent in later life. Very Bad :( . |

Did you really mean 39.9% APR - That's attrocious as most cards are around 12-16%. What he needs to go is get a new card which has introductory offer for balance transfers and transfer the outstanding amount to that card. He'll have to pay a fee (usually 3%) but it won't be anywhere near the amount he'll have to pay at 39.9%. |

39.9 christ that credit card company saw you coming.........average intrest rates are about 16.5....if you pay off the whole £130 within a month there will be no intrest charges at all |

You need a lot more information to answer that question properly. How much can you put on it each month? What is percentage of the balance used to determine the minimum monthly payment. ARE you only going to pay the minimum each month? LOTS of things that need to be taken into account.
Ok, so bottom line... If he STOPPED now at 130, at 39.9%, he's have to pay about 13.5 per month to pay it off in one year.
AND you should give him a good wallop upside the back of the head for getting a line of credit at such a ridiculous percentage rate!!! |

that is a large amount, for every 100.00 you spend you pay back 140.00, cut it up and lose it. |

If he doesn't pay it back before the interest free period runs out (usually 30 days from last bill) then they'll charge about 3.3% every month - that means u pay interest on interest too! That's a dreadful rate. The most I've every heard of before is 29.9% and that's a store card not a credit card! |
