Last week on Take Control Tuesday we shared a simple strategy to help lower your credit card interest rate for those who pay their bill on time but still end up with a balance after the billing cycle. But what if you don’t have the best payment history? Is there a way to get the interest rate lowered as well? Yes. But you do have to have a conversation with your credit card company. Mansa gives you what should be said for the best outcome.

Mansa always says the best credit card is one that’s paid off. But if you’re not there yet, don’t stress—this tip is just for you.
