Frequently asked questions

With the same payment stream, highest-APR-first usually minimizes interest, but behavior and changing rates can affect real outcomes.
What if minimum payments exceed my budget?
Contact creditors or a reputable nonprofit credit counselor promptly; a calculator cannot negotiate hardship options.
