    Minimum repayment
    Greater of 3% of the outstanding balance or £5 each month

    Summary Box
    £2000*3%=£60 :D

    yarrow.gifDanger! Avoid Minimum Repayments If you only pay the minimum repayments on your credit cards, watch out. Minimum repayments are deliberately set up to keep you perpetually in debt, paying huge swathes of interest.

    Yeah but at least you wont forget to make that minimum payment thereby not incurring charges and reverting to the much higher interest rate. You can also make additional payments each month if you want.

    Yep but the minimum payment on the 3.9% per year card is actually quite a big repayment - 26% per year.

    Not bad really.

    3% off balance each month, 0.325% interest each month. A lot better than nothing.
