HSBC Card APR

So I just sent HSBC an online message asking for them to reduce my APR on my credit card by a few percent telling them I'm trying to pay it off and I'm on a low wage so any help would be appreciated.

Hope it pays off.

    Good luck! They are usually quite stobborn, but a couple of years ago they did reduce mine to 4.9% for a short period of time.

    Have you tried to get a 0% credit card so you can transfer the CC balance over, making it free?
