The interest rates charged on credit and store cards can vary widely. That applies not only to the headline rate – the interest rate that appears as a ‘typical’ rate in advertising and marketing literature – but also to individual customers; according to their personal credit rating.

Transferring a credit card balance to a 0% deal may seem tempting, but it could cost you in the long run if you don’t have the discipline to keep transferring the balance before the promotional period ends. Even if you delay transferring by a couple of months the interest payments can soon add up. Ultimately any credit card balance has to be repaid at some time, so if you are not paying it off under a zero interest deal then you may struggle to do so once the interest rates soar.

If you’re one of the thousands of people in the country who, each year, arranges a loan to fund a purchase, or if you apply for an overdraft, store card or credit card, or even a mortgage to buy a new home then the lender you approach will conduct a search of your past credit behaviour, in order to ‘score’ your application.
Air miles, points towards paying for holidays, redemption points for a selection of high street shops, discounted merchandise from your favourite football club and many other rewards are available to credit card holders, if required.
If you are searching for a new credit card or loan, do not submit multiple applications at the same time or you could severely dent your credit score. Applying for any credit card or loan affects your credit rating because the proposed lender will carry out a search on your credit history through one or more of the UK credit referencing agencies, such as Experian or Equifax. That search subsequently appears as an imprint on your credit history file and that ultimately impacts on your credit score.

Your credit rating is a score that is based on your personal history with money. It’s something that is built up about you without you needing to do anything out of the ordinary, but it’s very important nonetheless. Your credit rating can have an effect on all walks of life, and if you have a good one you could find it far easier to secure loans, services and even jobs, than someone with a poor rating.
