What will you do if you can not get a credit card?
You have to work on your credit until you can
Does cancelling a credit card affect your credit score?
Yes, canceling a credit card always reduces your credit score. It never improves your credit score if you cancel a credit card account. If you have had the card for more than 2 years, or if you have a substantial amount of available credit at the time that you close the account, then the reduction in your credit score is even greater. However, if it makes sense to you to close the card, and you do not plan large purchases in the near future, your credit will recover without your feeling the difference.
How might a reduction in interest rate on credit card borrowing affect people choice whether to spend or to save?
An interest-rate reduction is usually an incentive to spend more - as the card-holder will pay less for their borrowing.
Can you cancel your credit card?
One may always cancel their credit card, however, if one has a balance outstanding, one is STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING. From a credit reporting standpoint, it is never good to cancel a credit card because the number of open accounts is reduced and the relative credit usage is reduced (both resulting, generally, in a reduction of credit score).
What do you do if the security code on your credit card doesn't work?
Call your credit card company and they will help you reset the code.
