- While applying for a credit card make sure to negotiate with your Card Issuing agency to provide you a reasonable rate of interest at which you get charged on non payment.
- Put your cad payments on auto mode by linking it with your salary or savings account. So even if you forget, your account automatically pays your card.
- If you are in a debt trap, break a fixed deposit (FD) or take a personal loan which will be cheaper than credit card rate of interest.
- Some banks do have a Neutral Debt Counseling Session and one such bank providing such service is Bank of India [Credit Counselling Service (Abhay)]
