Looking for debt advice

dave1986

Hi All
Long time reader first time poster.
Im finally addressing the rising credit card debt I seem to have built up. Its currently

2300 barclaycard 11.9% (limit 5200)
730 egg 18.9% (limit 2250)
3000 virgin 1.9% (as of november will become 18.9%, limit 4200)

Ive decided to stop spending on all cards and become a cash only kind of guy paying off the minimum on all plus £100 at the start of the month plus any excess at the end of the month.

Obviously ill be paying the egg off first then virgin then barclaycard.
I know the perils of taking out a consolidation loan for these but the majority of the debt is still around after my student days which were followed by 2 years in a low paid job (18k) in which it steadily grew as I was spending £40 a week on fuel to even get to work.

Anyway im now 24 on £26k and hoping to become a qualified accountant in March 2010 (I know the irony). I was thinking of a loan from Zopa which I can overpay each month if I want with no charges but I think it'll be around 10%.

The alternative is juggling things around to take advantage of the various BTs I get offered.
Any ideas

Thanks

You are going to be one hell of an accountant !
