"Hi, my name is Peter Repak. I'm the owner of Clear Financial LLC, a debt negotiation company. How to Check Your Credit Card Balance. Well, it's obvious and it's very, very simple. What you need to do is, first of all, take a look at your statement. But if you don't get a statement, or you can't check it from that, then what you need to do is, either go online to your bank that you have your credit card with and take a look at your balance on the site on your account. Or, you can give them a call. If you turn the credit card around, on the back of it there is a corresponding number. You call that, probably, 800 number, it's a toll-free line. You call it from any phone. And, you basically go through the prompts, and then what happens is you get a person or an automatic information line, where you can check your credit card balance. Make sure that you also check your finance charges, that how much you are paying to the credit card companies. So, use your credit wisely and responsibly. My name is Peter Repak. I'm the owner of Clear Financial Company."
