Carrying a balance on a high-interest credit card? Consider doing a balance transfer to a new card with a lower rate — possibly even one with 0% for a year or more.
A balance transfer is a simple concept: You apply for a new card with a lower interest rate, then move your balance to it from the old card. In effect, you’re using one card to pay off another, but you’re getting a lower interest rate in the process. It buys you time to help chip away at the debt.
Paying off debt is hard, but can be done. Stick to a plan and remember to always make on-time payments.
