Ok , newbie thread right here

Hey hows it going everyone? Chris here...

Basically writing this message on behalf of my mother :D

She has quite alot of outstanding debt on her visa, and got in contact with me because the time she has to pay the money is nearly up. There's no way she can afford it really and was wondering what her options are.

She mentioned an egg card to transfer the money to possibly? Im really useless with credit cards and stuff, so I decided to make an appeal to all you lovely interweb peoples!!

Any advice that you guys have will be massively appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Chris

    Is the outstanding debt due to late payments and or similar OR was it a 0% balance transfer and the paid by date is due?

    Has your mother got a good/perfect credit score (no late and or missed payment(s))?

    Depending on your mothers circumstances and or credit score this would dictate the best move forward.
