In no particular order, the following are viewed as being the top 10 common credit card mistakes: 1 etc. bill consolida consolidation loan student Applying for a card and limit you cannot afford to repay Most people have bad debt management skills and are swept away with the fact that they have 'x' amount of pounds as their limit etc. bill consolida consolidation loan student They rarely consider paying the card and have "maxed" the card out in a few months. They then spend years trying to repay the card! 2. Applying for too many cards Not content with having one credit card that has reached its limit, most of us jump at the chance to apply for a new card as soon as it is offered to us. Then, having learnt nothing from our previous experience, we rush and buy all the things we couldn't because we had to save money to repay the first card. Suddenly we have twice the trouble! 3. Using the cash advance function At least with purchases made for goods and services we should get around 50 days interest free credit, but with a cash advance we start to pay interest from Day 1. Using your credit card to cover your day-to-day cash needs is a very costly mistake! 4.

If you have maxed your credit card out it's a sure sign that you are living beyond your means, so what hope have you got of repaying the debt without a radical overhaul of your debt management skills! 6. Late payments Late payments subject you to extortionate interest rates and set fees, very profitable for the credit card company and a very unfortunate mistake for you to be making!
