Interest payments are way too high!!

I have been thinking of how MS we have been with our credit cards changing over to low APR's for lifetime balances - 2 x AMEX 3.9% and a Sainsburys 4.9%. Today I made £400 payment on the AMEX cards, out of that 12.5% went on interest - the monthly interest charges for the 2 cards were £49. Just seems excessive but there again so is our debt!!!!

    Wow, you must be raking it in to pay so much off each month. I was chided on another thread for being able to afford £500 a month.

    Nice one.
