Writings about secured credit cards
By using the card to make small purchases, an individual can pay the balance off monthly and gradually build their credit rating back up. The lender may elect to periodically increase the credit limit as a good payment history is built and eventually switch the debtor to an unsecured card. At first glance, bad credit credit cards may seem like the perfect answer, but there is a downside. Certain lenders may charge outrageous fees in the first billing statement that drain the credit limit dry. They may also charge extremely high interest rates that not only drain the credit limit but trigger overlimit fees and charge interest from the moment of purchase rather than granting a grace period.
