I know that credit card companies aren’t REQUIRED to lower theirs, but they usually do, right? So can I call my credit card company tomorrow and ask for a lower rate, or should I give them a week, or what?
All I know is that about 6 months ago I called my credit card company and asked for a lower rate. It was at 13.99%, and after spending about 30 minutes on the phone with two very nice gentlemen, I was able to lower my interest rate down to 10.5%, and renew or something a promotional rate from 7.99% for 6 months down to 3.99% for the life of the loan. I asked them how often I could do this and they said whenever the rates change, I could call and ask – I might get it, I might not.
I just thought that I might need to give them time to get a new rate into their system, and with it being more than the .25% change that was expected, I thought it might take a little more time. But I’m not a financial wiz, or I wouldn’t be in debt in the first place.

I have a potential Internet customer who wants to pay by credit card, but currently I only accept payments by PayPal. I tried to contact PayPal about taking credit cards over the Internet but they won’t give me a quick, straight answer. They want a salesman to call me at work. That’s a red flag!

What is the easiest, cheapest, best way for me to use a third party to take credit card payments over the Internet?

My credit card account is currently in good standing but in November of 2006 I was 60 days past due. Your credit report shows your payment history for 7 years so this is showing as a negative on my credit report. I’ve heard that you can ask the credit card company to take it off without doing a “hard pull” or something on your credit. Please help!!

I have a costumer that owe me $2500, he wants to pay me with credit card. I dont have any credit card account machine. So I opened an account with paypal and I read that paypal charge 2.9%. How long does it takes to receive payment from a credit card?
I know that the 2.9% fee is good, but my question is how long does paypal takes to deposit the money to my account. Because usually credit cards payment takes more than debit cards.
