Renegotiate Your Credit Card Rate

ABC2 is working for you.  We are helping you pay off your credit debt in 2009. 

Today's Tip: renegotiate your rate.  Call your credit card company and request a lower rate.  We've told you in the past about what you can say and who you should talk to, but it can never hurt to try again.

Ask for a new and lower repayment schedule; request a lower interest rate; and appeal to their desire to receive payment.

Here's the script:

Hi.  My name is _____________.  I’m a good customer, but I have received several offers in the mail from other companies with lower annual percentage rates.  I really want a lower rate on my card.  Can you help me?
**If you’re told NO, ask for a supervisor or an account specialist and read the same script again!!
