Credit is particularly important after a diagnosis. Credit is not only about the limits. It is also about the terms that go with that credit.

Credit cards are about a good deal more than the advertised interest rate and limit. Before you take a new card, also look at:

  • Fees such as sign-up, annual, participation and monthly maintenance fees.
  • What triggers a change in the interest rate.

The features that may be particularly troublesome are likely to be in the fine print. It is advisable to take the time to read the fine print carefully - or ask a family member or friend to do it for you.
