1. Contact the bank as soon as possible to find out the details of the arrears and seek repayment arrangements;
2. If you can't repay all the arrears in one lump sum, you can ask the bank for installment payment;
3. Try to negotiate with the bank to reduce interest or reduce part of the arrears;
4. Pay the minimum repayment amount frequently to avoid further accumulation of late fees and penalty interest.
Detailed description:
First of all, it is very important to get in touch with the bank in time. By communicating with the bank, we can know the specific amount owed, interest and repayment period, so as to make a reasonable repayment plan. Secondly, if one-time repayment is difficult, you can apply to the bank for installment repayment. In this case, according to the individual's economic situation and bank policy, the repayment amount can be affordable for one month, and the arrears can be repaid in multiple months. In addition, you can also try to negotiate with the bank to reduce interest or reduce part of the arrears. Some banks may consider reducing overdue interest or offering preferential plans to help customers repay their loans. Finally, we must repay the minimum repayment amount as much as possible to avoid further accumulation of late fees and penalty interest. Even if the arrears cannot be fully repaid, regular payment of the minimum repayment amount will help to maintain a good credit record.
Summary:
After the credit card is overdue for four or five years, you should take the initiative to contact the bank and put forward appropriate repayment arrangements according to your own situation. It is an effective way to solve the problem by installment, reducing interest, reducing part of the arrears and paying the minimum amount. Through cooperation with banks, we will gradually pay off debts and repair personal credit records.
