Fair Interest Practice

Many Card Companies extend offers to us with less than stellar FICO Scores. Most of these are a decision made to generate revenue through enrollment fees, annual service charges and much higher than average interest rates. With these practices you need to know upfront where you stand. CardRates.com can provide you with the information allowing you to make an informed decision whether or not you are getting what you are being sold.
