Credit Card Late Payment Charges

 

Credit card is loved by many, as you get to borrow money and yet have sufficient number of days to pay the bill and even an option to pay minimum balance. In addition to this, there are many benefits offered by card issuers to their customers such as discounts while shopping online, cashback, reward points, fuel surcharge waiver and many more. For those who pay credit card bills on-time the benefits are further more. But there are individuals who miss paying the credit card bills before the due date. There could be many reasons for this missed payment such as:

  • Paucity of funds: This is the most common reason for credit card late payment. Again this condition can arise due to medical emergency, lay-off and many other reasons.
  • You did the payment on the last date but through cheque/demand draft which took time in processing.
  • You made the payment but due to technical reason the same was not processed. Again this can be a fault at your end or at the bank's.
  • You are travelling at the time of due date and did not have access to make payments.
  • You forgot to make the payment. Check out how to avoid missed payments.

What happens when credit card payment is made late?

Frequently missing your card payment knowingly or unknowingly is an invitation to the lenders to tag you as a defaulter.

Effects of late credit card payment are:

  • Credit score is impacted increasing the chances of loan or credit card application denied. A poor or low CIBIL score is an invitation to future financial trouble. Read tips on getting credit card when you have poor score.
  • Credit limit is slashed
  • Credit card can get cancelled
  • Interest rate will be increased
  • Your card account will be classified as a non-performing asset (also called as delinquent in banking terminology).
  • You will be blacklisted by the banks.
  • Recovery agents (in-house by the banks or third party agencies recruited by the banks) will start harassing you over phone any time during the day. This mostly happens when the overdue payment is very high.

Apart from the above effects, late payment charges are levied by the banks as follows.

Mutual Fund Review: Taurus Tax Shield

    Taurus Tax Shield has seen a turnaround in performance since 2007, but still remains a volatile offering… The fund has seen a turnaround in its performance since 2007 and has delivered impressively during market rallies since then. The portfolio is also more diversified. It contained its downfall to an average level in 2008 but is still one of the most volatile offerings in this category. Bold investors can look at this fund.   Strategy The fund manager invests across the market capitalisation and sectors. The selection of stocks is made on the basis of long-term business prospects and value creation. Fund Insight Launched in March 1996, the fund was a laggard with just two annual outperformances. Concentrated stock bets and high exposure to mid and small caps led to it being hit harder during market downturns. The number of stocks in the portfolio never exceeded 20 and it was not rare to see the top 5 holdings account for around 60 per cent of the portfolio. After b...

Health insurance guide - Part I

Insurance, by definition, is morbid. What if I die suddenly? What if my home caught fire? What if I had to undergo expensive medical treatment? What if something that I thought happened only to others befell me? Insurers, who work with large samples, calculate the probability of such an event and, hence, the possibility of them having to pay out a sum of money to mitigate, to the extent possible, the effects of that disaster. However, the possibility of you undergoing some kind of expensive medical treatment during your lifetime is far more likely than you dying suddenly or your house burning down. Given that costs at private healthcare facilities, where you are most likely to land up, is high, and, doubling every four years 10 months or so, the rest of your money life could easily go out of whack if you had to incur such expenses. Just 12 per cent of India's population is covered with some sort of health insurance. Pared to the bone, for a comparatively small price, health insu...
