I thought I was losing my mind previously as this game isn't working -- things are going backwards.


My stupid minimum payments keep on going UP -- well, DUH...no wonder I'm short money worse than ever.


I at first thought it was just my imagination and/or it went up because I possibly charged something.


I knew my Disney visa was due soon -- it's minimum last month was $343.00 -- I have NOT charged a single thing on it....so double-checked the min. again today thinking $350.00 would cover it.

OK -- so IF I am figuring this right --- it is more important now to go for the biggest balance card right now since they use that amount to calculate minimum payments.

These new laws were supposed to help but.....based on what I've seen, not so much. I mean, it's great they tell you how to pay it off faster but almost all of our minimums have gone up in the last month.

Holy cripes, not cool! If people had hundreds of extra dollars lying around, they wouldn't be in CC debt. I think all this is going to do is drive up a lot of BKs. Its amazing how short sighted big companies can be :(


Hang in here. I hope you hear something about a job soon!

Wow, what a mess. I never thought I would say this...but I am so glad that most of my cc debt is in collections and under legally-contracted repayment. (Lesser of two evils, I guess?) I would lose my mind if my minimum payment amounts kept changing like that!!!

I'm really tired of the curve balls and would like a straight shot, line drive, over the fence home run without having to jump a hurdle or two to get there.

None of us likes curve balls and we all wish we could have line drives over the fence all the time.
