you know how I say to make the call?

well… I’m really dragging my feet on making the call. The procrastination I’ve posted about led to a missed debt payment that was all my fault. I’ve been to embarrassed to call them up to waive the fee. Especially because I’m sure it is the same company that I’ve called twice within the last 2 years, but those were due to lost mail and moving — so I didn’t mind so much then. Now, knowing that it was my fault, I’ve been afraid to call them. What is the worst that they could say, “no”? The chance that they could say “sure” is worth making the call – hopefully this post will be the motivation and accountability I need to finally give them a call.

    I know that feeling all too well. I am too embarrassed to call and ask them to reduce my interest rate, even though I’ve never missed a payment. Because I keep my balance too close to the limit.

    Good luck. I hope you conquer YOUR fear. If you do, maybe you should post it and then I’ll take the bull by the horns myself. Maybe. :)

    [...] It’s been a little more than 2 months since my last phone call campaign to save money, more than three months since calling my credit card companies. Due to pure failure on my part, I needed to make this call but was a little hesitant. Thanks to Canadian Sadie of Cleaning House’s comment, I finally build up enough courage to call (btw, Canadian Sadie, it’s time for you to take action too!). [...]
