I've had a credit card for years and years now. The balance was originally £1000. I've got it down to £535. But almost every month I stick a tenner fuel in or so when I'm skint. I pay £30 a month off it but £13 of that is interest. So it's never really going down. I applied for 0% credit cards but been declined. Instead Ive taken out a loan over 2 years to pay it off which costs £49pm. At least this way it will actually get paid off as I can't keep spending with it. So what to do with the remaining £465? I've got a balance of £482 on littlewoods, which costs me £80 pm. It'd be nice not to pay that off each month but it's on 0% so not sure if I'd be daft to do that, but it'd give me breathing space. Or pay off my £300 overdraft but that's only £10pm and I could decrease that gradually. Or I could pay it off my £166pm car finance which would mean it'd be paid off in December instead or March..
I don't know what to do! As you can tell, I'm not very good with money.
