constant balance transfers - where to now?

Over the last 5 years i have had numerous credit cards, doing balance transfers in order to avoid interest charges. I have three 'active' cards but now drowning in interest charges, only managing to repay the minimum on each card, therefore I want to apply for another no interest card. Unfortunately I have been declined twice and im scared to apply again as i believe constantly applying for new cards can ruin your credit rating. As far as im aware my credit rating is 'good' (after completing martin's test). Anyone any suggestions, thanks

  • Talk to your bank - you are reaching the point where balance transfers is becoming a no no - so now it may be time to consider a loan to clear the debt completely.
