    Can you double check the catalogues (or are store cards). Am am very surprised that they are 0%. Onn the other hand there may be ono financial advantage in paying off early if the cost does not decrease with early payment.

    If they do not have higher APRs pay evry penny you can off the visa barclays at 21.9%, as that is the mostr expensive debt.

    Can you tell us what the maximums are on the two cards with 15% interest rate?


    Hi RAS,

    The Argos card may be buy now pay 6 months later but the APR goes up to something really silly like 29.9% afer the 6 month period.

    You have to factor in living as well as debt. What matters is that the balance is going the right way, as long as you have some spare.
