    I am really not sure where to go with my debt payments. Since the overdraft was cut by £1300 it has meant that I had to put the DSs car insurance on the credit card and also had to pay my oil bill with it too. That has, straight away, undone the payments I have have made so far this year.

    I currently owe £2359 PO 0%
    £10495 Co-op loan
    £2318 Virgin money 0%
    £2897 Co-op CC 14.9%
    £1200 Tesco 0% =£19,269

    Britannia loan too which I will leave to run for now.

    All except the Co-op credit card is money borrowed to set up our own business which has still not come to fruition.
    business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

    I'd be trying to pay the Co op CC first as that has interest on it.Then work through the 0% cards but 6 weeks before the 0% I would be looking to cards to transfer them to.
  • well done on the pay offs keep up the good work x
