Stop spending on plastic

Credit card borrowers have been told to cut spending through the Christmas period.
Use the rate cuts windfall to pay down your credit card debt.
Because of Global funding cost rises you cannot expect the banks to pass on all the rate cuts coming over coming months, though the Government and opposition will be putting a lot of pressure on them to comply to this expectation.

In the Christmas holiday season borrowers should be thinking about reducing their credit card debt, as we don't know how the financial markets will affect the rest of our economy.

Credit card debt generally rises due to increased spending, but we have seen that most cardholders have started to reduce their balances.
