What happens if you dont pay the minimum payment amount (or nothing at all) on a credit card?
(dont worry, i'm not planning to do it, but I'm just curious as it doesnt say what will happen.......aside from bad credit)

If you fail to make the mininum payment or the payment all together the consequences varies from creditor to creditor depending on who you are dealing with. For the most part you will be charged a high late fee or fee for lack of payment and you APR will go up which means that you will have to pay back even more than what you already own then in regular fees and finance charges. Also this information of lack of payment will be sent to the credit bureau's and it will lower your credit score which means any other time you try to get a credit card you will have to pay high fees and when you make a purchase and they run your credit they may charge you more to have the card. Also when making large purchases like houses or cars or taking out loans in the future you may be turned down due to lack of a qualifying credit score. If it can be avoided at all I would do whatever possible to make sure you make at least the minimum payment if not pay the balance every time you get your statement. Hope this is helpful :)

Hell.

well first off they will get you for 39 bucks, then wait 30 days ding on your credit after that keeps getting worse. then say hello to high interest rates.

Credit card companies are blood-suckers, and they will charge you anywhere from $25.00 to $35.00 for each and every late or missed payment. They LOVE it when people send in their payments late- that's where they make their money.

Depends on which credit card, but I heard some send Vito and the boys over to make you an offer you can't refuse.

For one month - they'll hit you with late fees. Longer, and they'll report it to the credit bureaus, tack on more fees, and at some point will shut down your card.

If you don't pay minimum you pay double your minimum next payment plus more int rest .


rtharp8
you will go into default and they can ask for the whole unpaid balance.

Well isn't that enough, bad credit report? Hey Gregg told me I don't know anything, but I'm here to answer your question anyway!

If you miss a payment, it might be a big deal, the CC company could change your rate, freeze your account balance, or nothing. Depends on their policies.

IF you do not pay they will start calling you incesstantly, and then the stress will start. Word of thumb if you can't pay it, do not get it. Been there and done that.
