in Loans
I am looking for some advice.
I currently have 4 credit card which are not maxed but between them the amount adds up to £17,000. I am eager to get them paid off. Each month I pay the mininum but a bit extra. However having worked this out this will take me forever to get them clear.
I am considering getting a loan from my bank, to get them all paid off.
Can you please offer advise as to if you think this is a good idea

Credit Card would be a better option0

what's your income
what's your total debt
what are the APRs of your debts
what do your credit files say0 -
I think it depends on so many factors like rate of interest, your earning, the company etc. So one should decide from those factors.0
