What is the meaning of debit cards and credit cards?

The main difference lies in the fact that a debit card doesn't carry a window of credit with itself.the purchases made by a debit card cannot exceed the amount of money a person has in his/her account.since they are directly linked with a person's salary account it provides instant cash.

On the other hand every time you make a purchase using your credit card,you are actually borrowing money from a bank or a financial institution.so every time you make a purchase the bank/institution pays the vendor and in turn you pay the money back to the bank/institution at a later date with of course interest(if any) incurred.

another major difference lies in the safety/security part.debit cards are more unsafe than credit cards because a debit card doesn't have a pin number.so just in case you lose your debit card and the theft is not reported quickly you might just lose everything you have in your account.but a credit card comes with much more legal liability.sometimes (if you are lucky enough)the credit card company /bank might as well compensate for your losses.

You can choose to pay your dues entirely at one go or stagger them after paying the minimum amount due every month.

How do you better your credit after a bankruptcy?

1. Start saving a small amount each month, until you have enough to meet at least 3 months' worth of needed expenses.

2. Develop a budget and stick to it.

3. Pay your bills on time. That means not mailing the payment on the due date, or paying after the due date but before the date set for a penalty, but at least three days before the due date.

4. Get a low-limit ($300-500) card, use it to buy only as much as you can pay in full at the end of the month (or whatever period your card uses).

5. If you have no utility bills in your name, change one to your name, and pay it regularly.

6. If you can, pick a discharged debt to pay. Save the money to make a lump sum payment. The discharge means the creditor cannot take action to collect, but it does not prevent you from paying it.

7. Get your free annual credit report from www.annualcreditreport.com every year and make sure it is correct and up to date.

8. Check your credit score at a free site

9. Do NOT apply for credit at more than on source. Multiple credit applications reduce your score.

Control your spending. Know what you spend. Spend only for what you need and only if you can afford it. If you get gas, don't go into the store to get a soda or a snack. Write down every penny you spend for a week. Lower that amount the following week. Repeat as needed.

What is the personal identification number on your debit card?

Personal Identification Number (PIN) is a unique 4 digit number which helps a credit card holder to access the ATM to withdraw the money. This number is computer generated and not even the bank staff know it. Once it is generated, it is direclty sent to the credit card holder directly to his address.

This number should be kept confidential to prevent its misuse. Hence, a card holder is strongly advised to keep this number in his mind, i.e., to keep in his memory and not write it down either in a wall calander or in a diary because any one can have access to it.

It would be better for the card holder to change this password, as it is called in lay man's language, often to prevent its misuse by others.

To safeguard the interests of the credit card holder, now-a-days bio-metric ATMs are being pressed into service, which will capture the unique thumb impressions of card holders to identify it later.

Do you loose you credit points if you had acredit card debt in collections?

Of course. Your "credit" score will be lowered if you become a debtor who doesn't pay your debts. Your credit score is based on your behavior as a person who owes money. If you don't make your payments on time you are a poor credit risk.

What can you do if you are sued for credit card debt and are unemployed?

Unfortunately the law does not recognize the inability to pay one's debts due to any sort of hardship. If the lawsuit is valid it will go forward regardless of the person's financial status.

If the creditor wins the suit (which is most likely) they will be granted a judgment and will then be able to execute it in the manner allowed by the laws of the debtor's state.
