credit cards at February 2007 was $4,545 million. Of that, New Zealanders are being charged interest on $3,150 million. With an interest rate of approximately 18.50% pa, credit companies receive another $580 million each year on top of account fees. That's almost $140 for every man, woman
and child in the country.
