    Suggest you go over to the debt free board and post up a full statement of affairs - income and outgoings - see sticky at the top of the page - and let people have a look to see where you can make savings to pay more off of your cards.

    They may be able to suggest ways of shuffling the debt round to save on interest. However you need to prepare yourself for constructive criticism - if you are looking for a way to get the debt written off this is unlikely to be the response you will get. Good luck.
