Article Abstract:

Bank and credit card statements should be verified but they are confusing. Few statements provide information about interest rates and charges which is simple to understand. Displaying tariffs in branches is inadequate as few customers visit their bank as often as monthly. Statements do not show cleared balances, although cash machines can. Credit card statements are often incorrect and show interest charges which cannot be confirmed.

Article Abstract:

Consumers may be unaware of the true cost of credit. Store credit cards may charge high rates of interest, and many low-interest and zero-interest offers are confusing and wind up costing much more than expected.
