Where to put overpayments?

After looking at toomuchdebt's thread and playing around with figures

I've realised how useful Money can be and that the snowball site is not helpful for a lump overpayment, so am offering mine and it's services to you DFWs :)

Just post the usual - debt amount, apr, min payment and the amount you have to overpay and it'll let you know where to chuck it as it isn't always the highest APR and if APRs are similar it can be hard to figure out where to chuck it.

So yeah, services are here if you want them, PM me if you don't want to post info here

    pretty much-might be a few hundred more on one of the credit cards due to last months spending before I cut them up but it'll only be a months or so difference in a DFD-I just want to get a rough idea
