• How can I manage credit responsibly to avoid financial problems?
  Some basics of responsible credit management include paying your bill on time, every time, and keeping your balance as low as possible. If you have debt on more than one card, pay off the most expensive debt first. Monitor your credit score and work to raise your score. A higher score will qualify you for better interest rates.
