| The idea of a debt consolidation loan is to get one loan at a low
interest rate to pay off multiple loans. The CRT is an unsecured
line of credit and currently charges interest of just under 16%.
This is higher than some charge cards. I would think there must be
a better loan available.

| 19.3 | need lower rates | BTO::CHARBONNEA_G | | Mon Apr 25 1988 23:24 | 5 |
| If you think 16% is higher then some cards,tell me what cards you
have that is less/the cards I git for credit cost 18% or better.
Is Mass.A lower state on credit card rates?

| 19.4 | Optima, For One | PARITY::GOSSELIN | | Tue Apr 26 1988 11:47 | 10 |
| There are many cards under 16% - American Express's Optima is
currently 13.5%. Some N.H. banks offer cards at 14.5 to 15%.
Mass is about average in limiting credit card rates - I believe
they may be near the top for oil company cards, for example. Consumer
Reports had an article some months' ago on credit cards - check
your local library if you're interested......

They publish a monthly report (actually a one page flier) listing the
"top" ten in each of the above catigories. There is a fee to obtain
the report, but I don't remember how much it is.
