How many days to pay off your credit card bills? Is it 7 or 14 days until they put interest on it?

Question

Because theyre putting interest on quickly the b******s and not even sending me a letter that says theyve put interest on it.

Answer 1

either call the credit card company and explain the situation or look to see if there are any cards willing to transfer your balances over transfer free and start over its free and has less interest

Answer 2

It depends on the institution.  Twenty days is typically allowed from the bill issue date until the payment-received deadline for you to pay off the whole thing and avoid interest charges.  Read your agreement for specifics.

Answer 3

Did you send a payment at all?

If you didn't then maybe they are charging you a late fee.

I've had that happen before.

Answer 4

Umm...read your documents pertaining to the card.  I have one that interest starts on the day after the purchase is made.  They have no legal reason to tell you that interest will be compounded, the first documents they sent you tell you when your interest compounds.  If you can't responsibly handle credit cards you should get rid of them (and responsibility means knowing the terms and conditions as well as paying them off).
