What happens if you don’t pay your credit card bill on time?
Customers who don’t pay their bills on time are frowned upon by credit card companies. They send you email and SMS reminders when it’s time to pay. If you miss a payment, you’ll have to pay a penalty plus interest on the amount you owe. Additionally, interest-free financing is not available for purchases made the following month. The biggest loss is a tarnished credit history and a reduced credit score, both of which reduce your chances of getting credit in the future.
