  • If you earn £60k why on earth do you owe piffling amounts on multiple cards?
    Something doesn't add up here.

    Only on there due to low BT rates. I've got £35K of debts in total - was £50K+ a couple of years back, so that puts a dent in my pocket each month!

    I have balances on 2 out of my 4 credit cards, so nothing to worry me.

    Could be stoozing :confused:

    As my income has increased, as have my credit limits and debt levels as I am able to stooze more and more.

    Naturally the higher income means the higher Minimum Payments can be made from salary rather than dipping into stoozepot.

    This is why - you are now a high risk customer with a high net debt to salary value.
    You have done well to bring it down from £50k - my advice pop over to the debt free wanabe board.
