    Will leave it up to others to see if they can give advice re balance transfers - however the one thing that strikes me is that the interest rates are not THAT bad - once the skycard has gone if no-one can advise you better you need to start opayments on other Lloyds loan - again you are lucky that your minimum payment is low so you can make a difference.

    Also, not sure how much luck you'd have if you've missed payments - but could try phoning your ccard co's to see what is on offer. (Possibly different things from the 2 Lloyds cards) Make it clear to them you are sorting out your finances and are planning on dumping a load of cards - they will ahev to weigh up whether a blip in your payments outweighs the fact that you'll be paying them lots of lovely interest each month. You're looking for a low lifetime balance and no transfer charges.

    Good luk! DFDate is scary, but it WILL come down!
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
