If you have less than two years
remaining on your adjustable rate mortgage before it becomes variable, I highly recommend you refinance today or before the fixed rate ends because ARMs are tied to LIBOR rates once they are variable, and LIBOR rates have surged higher.

Sorry I mean't to add one other thought, if the card holder is carrying a high balance and their interest
rates increase like the banks have been raising in recent months, this could backfire
on the banks themselves, I mean since the banks give a 45 notification of the increase and the consumer is already maxed out and can barely make the payments as it is, the increased interest
rates because of how the congress requires at least all the monthly interest and some of the principle to be paid
on the cards, done so that consumers could reduce the amount of time to illiminate their debts, this may spawn many card holders whoms payments will increase much like those
adjustable rate mortgages that people walked away from to go wild with their
remaining balances
on the card and then default, the whole irony is that the consumer may very well use the card thats damaging them to pay for bankruptcy proceedings lol!

rate for the first 36 months,
adjustable thereafter; a 5/1 ARM, fixed for 60 months,
adjustable afterwards; a 7/1 ARM, fixed for 84 months,
adjustable after - While your interest
