Credit card applications A review of the basics
The changes banks have made to credit card restrictions, in addition to the current economic downturn, means that more people are seeking credit cards for bad credit. Credit cards for bad credit usually come with high interest rates and fees. This often leads to the accumulation of more debt, since it is more difficult to pay down actual balances with those high rate cards. Instead of settling for credit cards for bad credit, some experts advise those consumers to consider a credit card that has a prepaid balance. Unlike with a traditional credit card, a prepaid card will not allow a consumer to spend beyond his means.
