Credit Card Debt Maxed Out?

When do we max out our credit card debt? Is it possible to have it with one card? Credit card companies attracted there customers by offering heavy credit limits to earn more profits in return. This really was attractive, because the purchasing power of the consumers increased and they succeeded in getting hold of the luxury which was otherwise not possible with the take home salary. When the credit limits expired, they faced heavy debts.

The credits limits of three to four times the income was too much for the consumers. Another reason for the heavy debts was the usage of multiple cards. The total accumulated debt rose to more than ten times the basic income, which stood as a mountain when debt appeared finally. In the situation of credit card maxed out, bankruptcy is still not the right relief solution, instead it is even more expensive to follow.

Tips to deal with having too much heavy credit card debt consist of two solutions or the mix of the two. In case of multiple card debt, the right thing is to locate the card which contains the maximum debt.
