Monday, 30 November 2009 - 12:32 AM
If your anything like me you might have waited ten years before you even bothered getting a mobile phone because you just didn't need or want one, but eventully we give in and find out they are not such a bad thing. The same could perhaps be said for credit cards, not every one is in a hurry to get one and sometimes this means it can make it harder if you don't have a credit history when applying for your first card ? or perhaps you are trying to repair some previous credit mistakes.

Coffee Tea or Credit ?

Sounds funny but it could be that simple to obtain a good credit rating for life, by simply changing a few habits you could keep on improving or rebuilding your credit rating , the average coffee latte costs a few dollars and is normally in some hot cup perhaps while you are in transit on the way to work , just think about how much each month you spend on that take away coffee ? maybe over $ 30 and to think if you got to work a bit earlier you may be able to make a

Credit Card Reviews- Low Balance Transfers
Friday, 21 August 2009 - 5:18 AM
Ok you have decide its time for a change and you also want a good deal if you are going to change credit card providers, and the low balance transfer rate seems as good as any reason you can think to change providers. This is where you have to be a little bit careful and not fall into the trap of thinking all your credit from now on is at the low rate ! Trust me this happens and when you get the bill you cant figure out why the rate is more than you expected. Well you need to remember that its
Credit Card Reviews-New Starting Out Rules
Wednesday, 19 August 2009 - 7:15 AM

As part of the new credit card reforms coming in February 2010 any one under the age of 21 will now have to prove that they are able to repay the credit on the card, although in years gone by it was quite easy for a student or other person under the age of 21 to obtain credit via a card, and once you were able to get the first card it was easier to get another card and then another card until you were paying off perhaps 3-4 card debts before you have even left college. A hard lesson in

Credit Card Reviews-Grace Period Knowledge
Thursday, 13 August 2009 - 8:48 AM
So you found a great card and you know the company that is supplying it, so good so far. They offer a good interest rate and all seems good, to the point they offer a grace period of lets say 20 days without interest. You happily go about using your new card and the first payment is due and it all seems good because you only used it rarely and didn't even use it in the first two weeks. The second month bill comes and you cant figure out why it's more than you expected

Credit Card Reviews-Too Easy
Thursday, 13 August 2009 - 2:18 AM

The credit card is a great way to access money in times of need or necessity and sometimes just for convenience but i have always thought to have a pin number and a signature adds to the privacy and security aspect of a card, so when i found out there were a new style of card becoming available to use i was truly amazed to find out all you have to do is wave the card at a card reader for predetermined amount set by the card provider and you will not have to sign for it ? To me this is perhaps

Credit Card Reviews-No Cards ??
Thursday, 13 August 2009 - 2:16 AM
I wish i could remember what film it was but a couple of years ago i watched a film that wa set in the future, about two hundred years from now and every security device had been tried over the decades to keep credit card and finance on the internet safe. The thing is the bad guys always found a way to get around the security measures that were put into place and over time this ongoing problem just left the finance companies scratching their heads in amazement because there seemed to be no way

Thursday, 13 August 2009 - 1:51 AM

Yes the need for credit has been around ever since mankind started to prosper and see the need to barter for better goods and services, and if you didn't have the resources you would have to come to an arrangement that would require some form of credit to obtain the required resources. Although in times before currency the good and services were normally people and animals or perhaps building supplies and the labor to make the required structures.


Human life was less valuable in these

Thursday, 13 August 2009 - 1:48 AM

The first public pawn shops were established in the 15th century in Italy known as monts-de-piétés, some of the churches of the old worlds even banned interest on loans.
