If they balk at doing so, you can always mention that you're thinking of switching to another card that's offering a lower rate. That usually entices them to match the offer. Ramit,

He is faced with countless lawsuits that could potentially bankrupt the pedophile, er singer, at any given time. In some cases a court ruling against him may take precedence over prior credit obligations. The credit companies must have an increased risk with MJ, though Ramit's advice is still quite valid for the majority of us. People need to remember than Michael Jackson is an extremely special case.

He either needs a new financial advisor, a 0% balance transfer, or repeat the greatness of Thriller. I wonder what those minimum monthly payments are? 20% is unbelievable.

The chances are fairly good of getting an entirely different person who is more helpful.

I've done it many times. if they say no, try again next month. At one point or another, they will be able to lower it. Also, make sure you pay on time everymonth. If your payment record is clean, you increase your chances of getting your rates lowered. You’re right Ramit. all it takes is a simply phone call. I’ve done it many times.
