Credit Card Debt Problem? Tips to get out of Credit Card Debt

What is the number one cause of financial trouble in Canada? What is a leading cause of personal bankruptcy in Canada? According to the partners of Hoyes, Michalos & Associates Inc., one of the largest bankruptcy firms in Ontario, and one of the advisors on this web site, the answer is simple: Credit card debt.

Ted Michalos, the president of Hoyes, Michalos & Associates Inc., says that based on a review of the bankruptcies he has handled, virtually all individuals who file for bankruptcy have some outstanding credit card debt. Other common debts include tax debt and personal loan related debts but credit card debt is almost always the problem.

"If you don't pay your credit card debt balances in full every month, you are borrowing from tomorrow to pay for today, and it's that credit card debt that causes the problems" adds Douglas Hoyes, a bankruptcy trustee with Hoyes, Michalos & Associates Inc.
