In part 1 and part 2 of Common Credit Card Questions People Wonder About, we covered various topics ranging from cosigning and interest fees to annual fees and debt elimination. In the final installment, we’re going to cover three more issues people wonder about.

Is it a good idea to carry a balance?  You should never pay a credit card interest rate if you don’t have to. Your credit score will be just as strong without a balance on your card as it would be with one.
