Or you may think missing a few payments is not a big deal. The bank or credit card company won&#8217;t show up at your door after you miss one payment, but they&#8217;re definitely taking action behind the scenes. How your creditors respond to late payments can continue to affect you for months, and even years, to come. Knowing the consequences of a late or <a href=\"https:\/\/rpstagingdot.wpcomstaging.com\/credit-card\/articles\/credit-card-junkie\">missed credit card payment<\/a> should be enough to make you take extra effort to pay on time.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Increased Interest Rate <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When you miss your credit card payments, the issuers can then increase your interest rate. Reversely, if you are diligent and prompt in settling at least the minimum payment for your credit card, most banks will reward you and you will enjoy lower interest rates. This is known as the tiered interest rate structure, which is based on <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bnm.gov.my\/index.php?ch=ps_mps&amp;pg=ps_mps_type&amp;lang=en&amp;z=1#Credit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bank Negara\u2019s credit card interest rate structure<\/a><\/strong>. This tiered interest structure rewards those who pay their credit card bills on time. The longer the period of time which you consistently pay your credit card bills promptly, the lower the interest rate charges.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter img-responsive\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; display: block; width: 85%;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/optimized-blogassets.comparehero.my\/blog\/my_MY\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/BNM.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"para-image-caption text-center\">Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), tiered interest structure credit card, credit card malaysia, late payment charges. So it will work in your favor if you are prompt in paying off your credit card bills!<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Bad Credit Score <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Late repayments will go on your <a href=\"https:\/\/rpstagingdot.wpcomstaging.com\/banking-finance\/articles\/guide-credit-score\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">credit report<\/a> which all banks will have access to. Banks with a direct link to Bank Negara will have access to your report via the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/creditbureau.bnm.gov.my\/ccris.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Central Credit Reference Information System (CCRIS)<\/a><\/strong> which keep records for 12 months. Banks can also obtain your credit report from <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctoscredit.com.my\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CTOS<\/a><\/strong>, which keeps records indefinitely as a historical archive.

Once a bank sees your pattern and how you\u2019ve been missing payments here and there, they will be reluctant to approve your loan applications. This will work against you should you want to take a mortgage, a personal loan or any other loan from banks. It will also <a href=\"https:\/\/rpstagingdot.wpcomstaging.com\/banking-finance\/articles\/ways-to-improve-credit-score\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">make it difficult<\/a> should you want to take on another credit card.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Late Payment Charges <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When you\u2019re late in paying for credit card, most companies will charge you late payments fees. Although the charges imposed vary between banks, it is usually a minimum of RM10 or 1% of your total outstanding balance, or whichever is higher. You should also take note that you will be charged interest rate until the balance you owe is fully paid. You may think that 1% doesn\u2019t seem like a large amount, but if you make it a habit those charges can <a href=\"https:\/\/rpstagingdot.wpcomstaging.com\/debt-management\/articles\/3-debt-repayment-tools-become-debt-free-year\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">really add up<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You should also take note that when you miss a payment, on top of having to pay the late payment charges, you will also have to pay the interest charge which are imposed on he outstanding balance after the repayment due date. Before you know it, you\u2019ll be raking up the numbers and you\u2019ll soon start seeing larger amounts with your credit card statements as a result of your late payment habits.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Unwanted Calls And Visitors <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another motivation to make sure you pay off your credit card bill even if it is the minimum payment each month is to avoid being pestered by <a href=\"https:\/\/rpstagingdot.wpcomstaging.com\/debt-management\/articles\/deal-debt-collector\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">debt collectors<\/a>. Doing so will save you from the hassle of receiving calls from your creditors, especially when you\u2019ve missed more than one payment. Worse is when you are assigned a debt collector, who may not only be visiting you at home but may even turn up at your workplace to claim the debt you owe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>See also<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/rpstagingdot.wpcomstaging.com\/debt-management\/articles\/manage-your-debts-with-akpk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Need Free Help Managing Your Debts?<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>The Dreaded B Word <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Under the Bankruptcy Act 1967, a person can be declared <a href=\"https:\/\/rpstagingdot.wpcomstaging.com\/debt-management\/articles\/must-know-bankruptcy-malaysia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bankrupt <\/a>if a creditor shows that there is unpaid debt amounting to RM30,000 with a default of 6 months.
