The major reason cause credit card debt is people only pay the minimum amount and interest, they won’t pay full amount on their spending. The debt will keep increasing. Penalty and high interest will give to user if their late pay or unpaid. Some companies charge yearly membership fees of anywhere from $20 to $100.


People have lost their job, but sundry expenses still need to spend. Without income can’t cover spending. Price of goods and services keep increasing but income reduce or no changing.


Poor money management also a reasons increase credit card debts. Without budget spending plan, we can’t control our spending. We need clear our sundry expenses and extra expenses.
