im 21 and have a very small amount of debt compared to some people so i understand if no-one can be bothered replying lol

i have about 3500 to pay back

mum-1160 0%
BOS one card - 1140 at 22%
egg 400 at 0% until sept
Dell i ow about 300 to i think cant remember
and that all my debt

my mum is struggling slightly (gran died left us a house so we r paying for that) so im trying to get her money back to he aswell killing esseciallly 2 birds with 1 stone

ive been trying to get a loan to clear them all on but no-one except churchwood or QDL will touch me even though acording to experian i have a score of 896/999 which rates good on there system

ive never missed one payment on anything ever and have no CCJ or anything like that

im currently living with my mum and dad but am looking to move out in 4 or 5 years time so im trying to clear what i ow

any advise or questions

i also have a car outright can i not use that against a loan (2000 toyota celica VVTi)

the other thing is that experian say i have 700 quid credit available but my ONE card has 1100 on it alone

    Just clear it off at what you can afford per month. Another loan will not help.

    Whats your available income per month? If you've got an soa maybe we can help you with allocation of payments without going down the loan road.

    The majority of your debt is currently interest free, if you cannot afford to pay that down, how do you think transferring it to a loan with say 18% interest on top is going to help?

    becuase it would be at 18% but would be less than im paying every month at the moment basicaly thinking about now than the long run

    i pay BOS 40-45 a month and that take about 6 quid off what i ow them after they add theyre payment cover and there interest

    egg i pay a tenner a month wish it was more

    pay my mum 80 a month

    i prob spend about 40 - 60 a week on petrol

    i pay dell 30 a month but for whatever reason always end up short at the end of the month dont have savings or anything and next month i need to replace a ball joint on my car before the wheel falls off the car

    im not a big drinker at all i dont drink often or go out much it was different when the gf was working and i could borrow from her shes now at college worse off than me (we dont live together)

    never seem 2 get a break

    it may be a lower interest rate but instead of oweing £1140 at 22% you'd owe £3500 at 18% which is worse

    i think you should forget about a loan, i know you want to help your mum, but you don't want your debt to get bigger and out of control, thats the last thing your mum would want
    DEC GC £463.67/£450
    EF- £110/COLOR]/£1000

    Sorry, but you are beginning to come over as a little kid now. You do not earn enough for your current lifestyle but do not seem interested in sorting it out, short of thinking that some sort of magic loan will make everything better. The first thing you need to do is grow up and decide if you really do want to repay these people or not. Then take it from there.

    yes but paying 210 a month is worse than paying 110 a month
