FORT WAYNE, Ind. — If you live in Fort Wayne, you happen to live in one of the most responsible cities in the United States when it comes to handling your credit cards.
A study from personal-finance website WalletHub states Fort Wayne, Indiana makes the top five cut for cities in which credit card delinquency is increasing the least. Basically, that means Hoosiers in northern Indiana are making their monthly payments on time and don’t have to worry about the financial consequences.
