What else can I help you with?
Can a credit card company raise the rate on existing balances if you exercise your opt out option?
If it is allowed in your credit card contract.
Is Juniper a legitimate credit card company?
Yes, Juniper is a legitimate credit card company. Just be careful about the interest rate with them. If you are even 1 day late with your payment, they will raise your rate...and I mean raise it alot!
How much would it raise your credit scores if you were added as an authorized user on a credit card?
If you are an authorized user of another persons credit it has no effect on your credit at all. It will not raise nor lower your score. The credit card company simple issues you a card with your name on it and then holds the person who holds the credit with them responsible for any charges you make.
Can a credit card company raise your interest rate if you have never been late on a payment?
Unfortunately, yes.
After you have spent your credit limit and then automatically repaid it does the credit card company raise your credit level again or is the card essentially defunct?
This question isn't very clear. As I understand the question-as long as the credit company doesn't tell you it is closing the acct, the acct. is open. Also, the cc comp doesn't have to raise your level. So to answer your question, neither.
What are the advantages of paying with a credit card?
The best reason is that, in the case of non-delivery of what you've purchased or fraud, you can invoke the Fair Credit Act in a letter to your credit card company. If this is done within the time dictated by the act, the credit card company will remove the charges until the matter is resolved.
Can a credit card company bill a consumer for unauthorized charges if the credit card was improperly issued by the credit card company and the card was not activated and was stolen from the home?
Notify them that the credit card was stolen to the credit card company and dispute all the charges on the credit card. You would also have to file a police report if the credit card was stolen. The credit card company must investigate the charges.
Will canceling your credit card hurt your credit?
Most likely it will. The credit agencies may not know whether you cancelled your account, or if it was taken away from you by the credit card company. If you are concerned about your credit score, then having 2 to 3 credit cards will generally raise your score, as it demonstrates that each credit card company believes you to be capable of paying their credit card bills. Only use those credit cards enough times a year that they will not be canceled due to non-use.
When a credit card company raises your rate and you opt to cancel the card to stay at the lower rate does that negatively affect your credit rating?
It is always best NOT to cancel a credit card unless your debt to income ratio is too high. As long as you have no annual fees or any other "junk" fees with the credit card in question it is best to take your balance to $0 and put the credit card away in a safe deposit box or somewhere will it will not be stolen. The longer you have a credit card in good standing ( no late fees payments on time etc) it helps your credit. The credit card company will usually raise your credit limit which will help other low intrest cards also raise your limit when they review your credit history. In short YES canceling your card Can HURT YOUR CREDIT.
Can a company charge your credit card without your permission?
No, a company can not charge a credit card without permission. This violation should be reported immediately to your credit card company.
Are there any class action lawsuits against a credit card agency for overcharging interest?
There are maximum interest rates that a credit card company can charge that are set by law, but no credit card company is going to charge more than that. They can raise your interest rate as set out in the terms and conditions they gave you when you applied for the card. Most credit cards have a default interest rate that was communicated to you when you opened the card, which is what they can charge you if you miss payments. It is also required to be put on your monthly statements. You can't sue the credit card company for raising your rates as defined uder the terms of the card.
What are the merchant rights in a credit card chargeback situation?
In a credit card chargeback situation, merchants have the right to dispute the chargeback, provide evidence of the transaction, and request a review by the credit card company. They also have the right to be notified of the chargeback and the reason for it.
