Should I close a credit card with high rate?
You can do it if doesn;t
You can do it if doesn;t hamper your oldest credit history and the credit limit. If your debt amount is low, you can cancel your card as it won't increase your credit utilization ratio.
Cancelling a card with cost
Cancelling a card with cost you points. If there is no annual fee, and you maintain a zero balance, it does not hurt to keep it open.
Hi. I would suggest you close
Hi. I would suggest you close your high-interest credit card asap. Yes, it may hurt your credit score a bit. But using high-interest credit cards can make you vulnerable to fall prey to the debt trap.
You have to pay a high rate
You have to pay a high rate of interest only when you use the card. Right? In my opinion, the best option is to use the card only when there is no other option. But don't close it. You would lose the credit history. Maintain a good payment history. Thereafter, you can ask the credit card company to lower your interest rate.
