Best Answer

When you authenticate a payment on a card, the merchant's payment system will send a request to the card issuer to ensure that funds are available either in the account or in credit. The card issuer will supply an authentication code to the merchant approving the transaction. The card issuer will then arrange for the transfer of funds to the merchant's bank.

Should you default on credit card bills thus ruining your credit record or sell your car which is in good condition and likely to last a few more years?

Sell your car to pay down your debt and buy a beater. Have you contacted the credit card companies? It may make sense to call them to discuss payment arrangements. I have a client who had a $25,00 credit card bill with payments over $1000/month. By calling, they were able to get the rate lowered to around 8% and a monthly payment of $600 for one year after which the credit card company would review the payment plan. Many of the credit card companies are instituting these types of arrangements so, even of you do sell your car, you may want to try and work out a payment arrangement to suit your budget.

I just got a new credit card. I dont have any credit cards other then this one. If I cancel this credit card that is new with zero balance will it affect my credit score?

Everything you do related to credit cards will affect your credit. My advice would be to leave the credit card account open and here's why; While just cancelling your credit card (with no balance) shouldn't hurt your credit, here are a couple things to think about; 1) your credit history makes up 15% of your credit score. No history means no points. 2) your payment history is makes up 35% of your credit score. I know you said you don't have a balance, but an occasional purchase and on-time payment will help your credit. The only thing that could hurt you if have too much available credit. If the card has a $50,000 limit, this could work against your. But I doubt it, seeing this is your first card.
