    You were very open and answered all of my questions. You never made me feel like I was asking a dumb question. I was comfortable with your knowledge of the law.

  • More Than Expected!

    I found the firm's representation to be more than what I expected. I was always kept in the loop, all my questions were answered (whether or not I asked more than once the same question), and I felt completely supported by the firm staff when going through this (at times) scary ordeal. Thank you again.

Credit Card Debt Up 5%

Recently Nerdwallet posted it’s 2018 study of household debt. The study revealed the American households have 5% more credit card debt over the 2017 year. The study attributes this increase to a rise in household expenses that is far more rapid than the rise in average income. This trend is causing American families to live beyond their means and rely more heavily on credit to supplement the gap between their income and expenses.

Interest Rates

Average credit card interest rates are at their highest levels in two years, topping 17% in October 2018. Outstanding credit card balances have also increased, reaching $944 billion, according to the report.

Debtors Generation

The report also found that credit card debt varies with each generation. Millennials carried the least, at roughly $4,500. For those aged 45-54, the debt load significantly increases, to more than $8,500. Those aged 55-64 owed, on average $8,100.
