    Juggling the debt and moving it around for cheaper apr's is all very well, but that's not the same as tackling it.

    Bottom line is that you have to give your finances a health check, free up some cash from somewhere and concentrate on actually paying it off as rapidly as possible. You earn a healthy salary so I'm sure you can save cash somewhere.

    Start by posting an SOA (link at the top of the board) and the good folks here will pull it apart for you and suggest where you can make savings.
