Credit card debt is a form of unsecured debt taken from a financial tool usually credit cards. These credit card debts are generated when credit card holder purchases products from these cards and accumulates due to the interest charged on it. Difficulty arises because people are not able to repay their loans effectively or in time. When a card holder is unable to pay his debts he is declared as "defaulter".

In this book, “Living with Credit Card Debts”, we are looking at how we can overcome the obstacle we often face when it comes to managing our credit cards. The basic ideas discussed in the book are as follows:

• Plan your financial life. Financial problems are something most of us will have to manage eventually in life. In order to cope with the pressure that may arise, we need to have a proper financial plan and even financial goals.

• Credit card ratings and debts. We need to know what we should do and not be overburdened by debts.

• Study of financial management. We should make money work for us and not the other way round. We should have control of our money and not money have controls over us.

• Avoid bad debt. This may be as a result of poor privatization that may make us go for what we do not necessarily need.
