If your credit is good enough you can apply for a signature loan or "consolidation" loan at your bank to pay off the credit card and just make the loan payment. That is what I did with all my credit cards. If your crfedit is not in that good of shape then you can try a debtr consolidation company like Consumer Credit Counseling or you can try a Debt Negotiating company. The difference between the two are that with a consolidation company, you send them so much money and they split it between the creditors. With debt negotiation...you put money in a savings account and when you accumulate so much money the company will negotiate with your creditors to get them to except less than what you really owe.
Depends on how much you owe. The more you owe, the more the minimum payment.
It is unwise to pay minimum payments due on credit cards because the payment will cover only a small portion of the principal amount and more on interest and financial charges.
To make payments on a credit card, you can typically do so online through the credit card company's website, through a mobile app, by phone, by mail, or in person at a bank branch.

You pay longer & more interest overall.

You should not avoid paying the minimum due in your credit card account. The credit card company does not care if you lost your job. What you need to do is to speak with a credit consolidation agency in your area. Ask around about their reputation. The credit consolidation company will make a deal with your credit card company.

Interest fees vary depending on the credit card company. Most companies apply interest based on your credit score and credit history. To obtain a lower interest rate, increase your monthly payments or make payments more frequently. The more payments you make the lower your interest will be.
You MUST make the minimum payments or the company will come after you. If you just make the minimum payments you will eventually clear the debt but the rate of interest on credit cards is very high. If you are having trouble financially the first thing to do is to stop using a credit card (cut it up) then if you can not afford the minimum payments go and seek help from a third party (in the UK a free advice centre) - they will help you with your debt problems and will be able to get the interest on your card debt stopped - (you will still have to make small payments to pay off the debt but if you meet these the debt will no longer grow). Also some debts are more 'important' than others - your taxes, mortgage, rent etc. A credit card is an unsecured debt and you will not be sent to prison for it or thrown out of your home. Get Help!!
