The consequences of overdue repayment of credit cards are serious, and overdraft consumption should be moderate. Although the biggest feature of credit card is overdraft function, it actually constitutes the loan relationship between customers and banks. Failure to repay at maturity may not only cause legal disputes, but also bear high penalty interest. The most important thing is to form a bad credit record, which will adversely affect future work and life.

After a credit card with high penalty interest defaults, the penalty interest fees usually involved are revolving interest fees and late fees. The essence of revolving credit is a small, unsecured loan with daily interest. If the repayment is not made in full on the last repayment date, revolving credit interest will be generated on the next statement, and the interest needs to be calculated from the date when the consumption is recorded.
Except for ICBC, the other 12 banks still carry out full penalty interest. Full penalty interest means that even if the customer repays the part, the repayment part is not deducted when calculating the penalty interest, and the interest expense is usually calculated at the daily interest rate of five ten thousandths. In addition, some banks stipulate that interest shall be calculated at five ten thousandths within 15 days from the bookkeeping date, ten thousandths after 15 days, and fifteen thousandths after 30 days or when the overdraft amount exceeds the specified limit. The longer the default time, the higher the penalty interest.
For example, suppose Miss Li's billing date is 10 every month, and the last repayment date is 28th. On June 1 1 day, she spent 1000 yuan. On July 28th, when Miss Li was short of money, she paid the minimum repayment amount 1000 yuan first. Then the recurring interest expense on the bill on August 10 is: 10000 yuan ×0.5 ‰× (July 28th to June11)+(10000 yuan ~10000).
If the cardholder fails to pay off the minimum repayment amount, in addition to the circulating interest charges, there will be a late payment fee, which is calculated at 5% of the unpaid part of the minimum repayment amount. If Miss Li only pays 500 yuan back, the late payment fee is (1000 yuan ~500 yuan) ×5%=25 yuan. In this case, the circulation interest expense will rise to 296.75 yuan, and Miss Li's total penalty interest this month is 3,265,438 yuan +0.75 yuan.
Consequences of late repayment of credit cards II
The violent collection of credit cards that caused legal disputes has become a hot topic. Many bank credit card centers outsource the collection of credit card repayment to some so-called "debt collection companies". These companies are mixed, and the debt collection methods are rough, which brings great trouble to customers.
Not only that, the defaulting customer may also face legal disputes. According to the provisions of the Criminal Law, a credit card with a malicious overdraft of more than 5,000 yuan will not be repaid after three months of collection by the bank. If the circumstances are serious, criminal responsibility may also be investigated for fraud. For defaulting customers, after entering the judicial process, it will not only affect their reputation, but also lose more costs. In addition to paying off the arrears, it is even worse to bear the litigation costs.

Leave a "credit stain" in the national credit information system. In 2006, the central bank established a national unified enterprise and individual credit information basic database. As long as you have applied for a card or borrowed money from a bank, your own "credit report" will be automatically generated in this system. The "stain" in this report can't be ignored. It will affect all kinds of applications for loans, insurance, job hunting and studying abroad. Bad records are generally kept abroad for 7 years. 20 12, 1 1, the new personal credit report of the central bank was launched, and the credit card and loans overdue situation before 2009 1 were no longer displayed, and the overdue records were retained for 5 years thereafter. This move means that the public's overdue negative record is no longer accompanied by a lifetime. If you can repay in full and on time within five years, your credit can be cleared.
Tips: As a new payment method, credit card is also the simplest financial management method for consumers. Although overdraft consumption can reduce the financial pressure of cardholders' daily consumption, cardholders can easily become slaves if they are poorly managed or have no good financial management concept. Bian Xiao suggested that consumers should be cautious when the bill pressure is too high. They can apply to the bank for installment payment or apply for deferred repayment and extension of installment to relieve the pressure. At the same time, they should reflect on whether their consumption patterns are healthy and reasonable in time.
