1 Credit Cards Annual Fee - Amount you pay each year to have a credit card. Annual Percentage Rate - What you are paying each month -- unpaid balances calculated as a percentage. Balance - The total charges you have made Billing Cycle - Length of time between billing statements. Cash Advance APR - Interest rate charged when you take out a cash advance using your credit card. Most credit cards charge a much higher interest rate. Oct 15-7:21 AM 1
2 Credit Cards Credit Limit - The most you can charge on your credit card. When you receive a new credit card, you are usually issued a set credit limit. Keep your balance at 50% or less of your credit limit. Grace period - Time you have before a credit card company starts charging you interest on your new purchases. Most cards have 25-day grace period. Interest Rate - Credit is NOT free! This is how credit card companies calculate what you will owe them for "borrowing" money. APR is what credit card companies use. Introductory APR - Short term, low, interest rate offered by credit card companies to invite you to open an account. It will increase after a certain period of time. Oct 15-7:38 AM 2
3 Credit Cards Late Payment - A payment is received after the due date on the bill. Fees for late payments can range from $20 to $35 or more. Late payments may trigger an increase in your interest rate. Minimum Payment - Shown on your credit card statement, the lowest amount you can pay every month without triggering additional finance charges (besides interest). Secured Card - Often used as a "first credit card" to establish your credit rating. This kind of card is secured by money you deposit in a special savings account that only allows you to "charge" the amount in that account. Transaction fees - Fees charged when you make certain types of transactions using your credit card. Transaction fees are typically taking for cash advances. Oct 15-7:42 AM 3
4 Truth in Lending Act Federal law that requires lenders to tell you about the costs, terms, and conditions at the time they offer you a loan or credit card. But you have to read the fine print on the offer and on anything else they mail you. Oct 15-7:46 AM 4

6 Too much debt = BANKRUPTCY B credit rating it ruins your How many years does a bankruptcy stay on your credit report? Oct 16-8:43 PM 6
7 > Late payments: 7 years > Bankruptcies: 7 years for completed Chapter 13 bankruptcies and 10 years for Chapter 7 bankruptcies. > Foreclosures: 7 years > Collections: Generally, about 7 years, depending on the age of the debt being collected. > Public Record: Generally 7 years, although unpaid tax liens can remain indefinitely. Keep in mind: For all of these negative items, the older they are the less impact they are going to have on your FICO score. For example, a collection that is 5 years old will hurt much less than a collection that is 5 months old. Oct 14-6:44 AM 7
8 Bankruptcy is a legal decision that a person makes when he/she is absolutely unable to pay his/her debts. More than 1 million Americans file for bankruptcy each year. A large number of those people are under the age of 25. Bankruptcy is divided into 2 chapters: Ch 7 and Ch 13 Oct 15-6:53 AM 8

12 Your credit rating is based solely on your past use of credit. It has nothing to do with your age or income. The credit score is calculated using a mathematical algorithm. The number generated is compared against millions of other consumers which then determines your credit score. Oct 16-6:59 AM 12
13 FICO Scores The higher your score, the better you look to lenders. People with higher scores, receive the lowest interest rates. Range: Oct 15-9:14 PM 13
