Shop around for the best rate

Are your credit card interest rates too high? Shop around for a better rate today.

There are a lot of low-rate cards out there, so you should be able to get a lower rate than what you're currently paying.

Here are practices to follow when managing credit card debt to avoid credit card problems:

* Be punctual. Low rates often are only effective if you make monthly payments on time. Miss a due date and the rate may shoot up and stay there, creating credit card problems.

* Check to make sure there is no minimum purchase requirement to keep interest rates low. Otherwise, you may quickly accrue long-term credit card debt.

* Read the fine print. Always make sure you understand everything about an agreement before you sign on the dotted line. If you need debt advice, seek credit card help.
