How to pay off credit card debt? If you don't pay on time, interest starts building up rapidly. Here are various ways to manage it: 1. **Negotiate**: Ask the bank to lower your interest rate if you have a good record. 2. **Balance Transfer**: Move the debt to a card with a lower rate or a 0% introductory offer. 3. **Personal Loan**: Take a personal loan at a lower fixed interest rate to pay off high-interest credit cards. ### Pro-Tip on Balance Transfers: Introductory 0% offers don't last forever. If you can pay off the debt within the offer period, it's worth it. Otherwise, normal rates will double your burden later. ### Why Personal Loans are safer: They have fixed interest and a fixed tenure. You can compare interest rates on portals before applying. Choice between secured and unsecured depends on your credit history and income. ### Conclusion Escaping credit card debt depends on your budget and repayment capability. If you need advice, agents are ready to help solve your financial dilemma.
