What shall I do??

Hi

I am not sure what to do??

I currently have a Barclayloan (with protection) took out in July 2005.
I have phoned them today and was given the following information:

Loan to finish in July 2012, £235.89 Monthly Payments (includes Protection)
If repaid today would be £13,477.13.

If I carried on with Barclays I have worked it out as 71 months left to pay @ £235.89 which is £16748.19

I have looked on Nationwide to get a quote for £13500 over 6 years without protection:
Monthly amount £225.14 Total Payable £16210.08.

A standalone policy with Paymentcare is £12.38 Monthly.

I like to have the option of overpaying as Nationwide offers. They allow upto £100.00 a month.

I also have a cc debt with barclaycard which is 6.9% for the life of the transfer. Amount owing £1935.00

I am not sure whether to change the loan or clear the debt off the credit card first.

Also my mortgage fixed rate ends in December??

Any suggestions are much appreciated.
