How can I help my younger bro in CC debt ?
I don have the financial ability cos he earns more than me as is a fuxking regular

Since I am 12 yrs his senior the best i can do is to confiscate his card and restrict his moment. :s13:

I don understand why he got like 5 card from citibank since all is under the same limit.

So he max out 3 cards as far as i known as of now close to 20k. After i request all his banks letter to be mail to home. I still found out he is still spending money from

Google * diandian inter google.com/ch
(can i know what is this? he said is for games at playstore)

Later i going to drag him to post office and request for a credit bureau report.

I also know u cant terminate the cards unless u clear all the debt from that bank.

Other than credit counseling SG, what is other best way to clear this debt?

So far only me knows about his **** problem, becos I suspect a change of his behavior. And becos theres a sudden letters from bank statement. And I demand him to open the letters in front of me

diandian maybe is this

wah poker game ****, maybe got a bigger gambling problem here..

anyway, 20k is not a small amount, but if you are 12 years older you should have that amt of savings to help pay it off first? But of course, this is not a long term solution

so does that means he is playing online casino game trying to win money??

then my next course is to need to bar him from local casino
> anyone knows how i can do that?

first my money are all in funds, investment. max can only help few k
second i think he need to solve his own problem

I already read up on this last week.

hes taking back 2.7 nett as a regular

he has 3 cards, iirc
5+, 6+, 7+ k debt

I read that is better to pay the one with higher interest?
or is it better to pay the one with lowest amount own. And then take a credit transfer to pay the other 2

tks...
great to hear that ...

at least he told me hes not into legal money lender or loansharks
but i don believe :s8:

TS good of u!

but remember dont be so harsh. talk nicely.. because although u are doing for his own good, sometimes they not mature enough to appreciate your kind thoughts (till it is too late)

talk nicely and ask what he wants the ending be like
ask him what he wants, ask him how he wants u to help.

if u just help, he wont appreciate and may even see it as a get-out-of-jail card.
if he tell u wat he wants and how he wants it, thats different coz its his request...

I always tot Regular save a lot of money because they got nowhere to spend

My 0.5 cents worth,

1. try to apply for credit transfer (usually at lower interest for a period of time) to another bank's CC; if cant, pay the one with the highest amount.

2. Terminate his existing cards that are not maxed out

3. Call the credit council for assistance to liaise with crediting bank for repayment amount and schedule.

4. Warn him that he will have difficulties keeping his job and will be under the MSD(Mindef Security Department) attention for having a credit card outstanding more than 3x of his pay !

5. Get him to surrender his cards and give u at least $400 per mth physically in cash, and you will pay it off for him.

just a suggestion, use those short term money line 4x salary credit @ low interest type 3-4% (effective interest i think) to clear the higher debt.

The restricting part is really education and discipline from u and ur younger bro liao.

Boc has 0% interest fund transfer with 1% processing fee. Can use this to lower interest.

Get his credit score, if it's bad enough, he won't get any cc approved.

Have you tried calling Credit Counselling Singapore Society?
They should be able to tell you whether it's possible to stop banks from issuing CC to your brother or even make blacklist/ban him.
