Friday Scoop on Housing Market and Credit Karma News

credit card debt

Its Friday the 13th and Credit Karma’s latest press release has me feeling a little superstitious. The Credit Climate Report trend data for October 2009 shows that consumer credit card debt is on the rise, approximately at an average $7,573 per consumer, which could signal that consumers are growing more confident about using credit and spending ahead of the holidays. Let’s hope that these numbers aren’t an omen of bad credit karma to come, but a good sign that healthy spending habits will also spell healthy debt management too.
