Can you call your credit card company and have them freeze the account to stop incurring interest and have your payments go towards the principal?

No. It doesn't work that way, however, you can ask for a lower interest rate. Also, find a card offer with 0% interest on balance transfers and purchases for 1 year, apply and transfer the balance. You will at least have a head start on paying the principle. When it gets close to the end of your year, repeat the process with another credit card offer. It is possible to have 0 interest on your money, you just have to keep track of things and make your payments. Also, if you qualify, you may be able to apply for hardship. Ask your credit card company for details.

How do compound interest help increase the savings of bank customers?
Banks do not offer compound interest on the money deposited into the savings accounts. They offer only simple interest. However, this interest is compounded every month or quarter in order for the customer to gain full benefits of the same. Ex: let us say you hold Rs. 10,000/- in your bank account and as per the prevailing interest rate of 3.5% for a savings account, your interest for the first month will be 29.17 rupees. If the interest is compounded every month, the principal amount used for calculation of interest for the second month will be 10,029.17/- and the effective interest you earn the second month will be Rs. 29.25/- this way the interest will get added up with the principal amount every month to earn a extra few rupees into your account as interest.

What is the value of compound interest?

How do you convert diminishing rate of interest to flat rate of interest?
Converting the flat rate of interest to diminishing rate and vice versa takes into account the payments the loan entails. Flat interest rates reflect the amount of interest you will pay if no payments over time are made. Diminishing interest rate factors in that after a payment is made, your over all loan balance will be less, there for your next payment will have slightly less principal balance for interest to be calculated on.
How does compound interest differ from simple interest?
With compound interest, you earn interest on the interest. Basically the interest payments are reinvested into the account whereas with simple interest, you only earn interest on the original balance. The interest payments are kept separate of the balance that you invested i.e.: with a bond, the interest payments don't go into a balance, you just get a check for them or rather your broker receives the check on your behalf and deposits it into your money market account which is separate from the bond that you purchased.
