  7 Secrets Your Credit Card
  Company Doesn't Want You to Know

It’s gotten so bad that even Congress is getting involved. We know that Congress often gets involved where it doesn’t belong, but this is one instance where the folks on Capitol Hill got it right!

We’re talking about the way that some credit card companies practically rob you of your hard-earned money. Or, at the very least, do everything within their power to keep you indebted to them.

One of the latest tactics is to let cardholders go over their "credit limit," and then charge them a fee for it.

This kind of trickery makes us furious, and it happens all of the time. We want to help you make sure you’re not getting taken advantage of by your credit card company, so let us give you a little Straight Talk on Your Money.

Here are 7 secrets your credit card company doesn't want you to know and how you can fight back!

  Could Your Trinkets Be Treasures?

Looking for an easy way to find some quick cash? Just take a look around your house!

We’ve told people for years that some of the things just taking up space in their homes could be worth something to somebody else. We’re not just talking about a few dollars here and there, either. Some of your “stuff” could be worth big bucks.

This is especially true in the age of eBay. We’re amazed at some of the things people actually buy on that site!

Check out our guide to turning your trinkets into treasures. We also share one of our favorite stories about how an old laundry slip was worth $7,000!

Sincerely,

Dolans

Straight Talk Tip

Often the same insurance agent who sold you a lousy policy will call you again and say, “I have a much better policy, so I’m getting you out of the first one.” All he’s doing is churning commissions.

You should say: “Excuse me. If the first one didn’t work out so well, why would I give you money to hit me over the head a second time? Why is the new policy better?”

…or something to that effect.

 
straight talk tip

That’s what Albert Einstein reportedly called “compound” interest.

It’s also why you have to set aside money now, so it will snowball in the coming years. For example, investing $100 a month that returns 8% per year will equal over $55,000 in 20 years!

Plug your numbers into our compound interest calculator on Dolans.com and see exactly how your money will grow!
