Make a payment a day to a credit card.....

fairmorn308

Well i have decided to kinda copy the thread in the debt section but for credit cards only.

I am going to make a commitment to make a payment to a credit card debt. even if its one penny its still a payment.

going to start with my smallest debt and will update daily on the debt before payment and the amount i paid and the new balance

anyone think this is a good idea. hope everyone else can join in

Do credit cards not have a minimum payment level? Sounds like good idea all the same.

Is your smallest debt your most expensive? You should start with your most expensive credit card first

I think you need to grow up and stop treating paying back debt as a game.

I think the OP should actually review their debts, see if they can BT anything to a better deal, maybe look into taking out a loan at a better rate to pay off the cards.

Any payment is better than no payment! What happened to a bit of encouragement??? :mad:

Crikey, that's a bit harsh. Sounds to me OP is being serious and wanting to pay off his debts - I can't see how he's playing a game

Good luck OP. Pay off the one with the highest APR first.

How will you be paying each day ?

Surely a trip to a bank branch every day is a waste of time ( and fuel ? )
Weekly payments i could understand..Daily....Not so sure...

Maybe the OP can do it online?

In what way has the OP implied it's a 'game'? They're clearly committed to taking action to get themselves out of debt - surely this is something that should be encouraged rather than belittled?
