Do you think we would be better off deferring the 70% of the monthly interest using this scheme and trying to pay off the credit cards over the next two years?

If your credit card debt is out of control you may well need to look at this if the scheme is not available to you. Remember that you can get "upto" 70% deferred so if can afford more than 30% (which if you are intending to repay the cards in that time I'm guessing you may be able to) then you might have to pay more than 30%.
Check also that you cc's haven't got payment protection on them, you would be surprised how many do!
good luck with it pebbles
Spoke to my lender and they advised that they did not yet know about their equivalent scheme. Have to scrape through another month!
Are we being penalised by someone who doesn't understand the system or this this the norm. I had to tell the Benefit officer the information on this site before we could get help as he was confused by the whole thing.
