      <title>Best Credit Card After Bankruptcy... How To Find One</title>
      <description>Finding the best credit card after bankruptcy is not that difficult, if you know where to look and what to look for.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Let&amp;#146;s start by talking about secured and unsecured credit cards. When it comes to applying for a credit card after bankruptcy one question that a lot of people seem to have is:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Should I apply for a secured credit card or unsecured credit card?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
In case you don&amp;#146;t know the difference, a secured credit card is &amp;#147;secured&amp;#148; by a special savings account you establish with the credit card issuer which acts as collateral for your credit limit.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
For example, you deposit $500 in a special savings account and then have a $500 credit limit. If you default, the credit card issuer simply takes the money in your special savings account.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Unsecured credit cards are just that &amp;#150; unsecured. Meaning the person fills out a credit application and, based on their credit report, income, etc. are approved for a certain credit limit. Of course, they could also be declined depending on the credit card issuer&amp;#146;s guidelines.</description>

      <title>Free Credit Cards and Balance Transfers Allow You to Manage Your Debt Wisely</title>
      <description>If you&apos;re being squeezed by the high interest rates and fees charged by your credit companies, it might be time to rethink your financial strategy. In today&apos;s marketplace, credit card companies compete for your business. You can take advantage of free credit cards and balance transfer options to make purchases, manage your credit card debt, and avoid paying high interest rates and fees.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
The first key to taking charge of your credit card debt is to understand the options available to you. Free credit cards not only offer you a cushion of financial security, but when used wisely, they can also help you lower or erase the interest rates you&apos;re currently paying. In effect, the money you spend each month on interest charges becomes money you can use to pay down your debt or to spend as you see fit.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
As an example, if you have a $7,000 balance on a credit card that charges 18 percent APR, and you&apos;re paying $210 (3 percent) per month, it will take you over 18 years to pay off the debt. In the process, you will have paid $6,698 in interest!</description>
