in Credit cards
hi guys.
I have been a shameless credit tart until now, and I'm ready to repent.
I decided to face the music today and I started by looking at the interest I have been paying on my Evans card. I was truly shocked. I have been paying the minimum payments £30 a month , whilst they have been charging me over £10 interest and £10 account cover a month.
How on earth will I ever get this payment down? My full balance is around the £800 mark.
I am on benefits at the moment and with my credit history, I just know I won't be eligable for a 0% credit card to swap my balance to.
Does anyone have any ideas. I'm scared. lol
