Paying off a CC Debt with ISA money?

Hey guys,

I have £350 in an ISA, that I only started saving last month due to having payed off all my debts.

I have just been looking at my accounts and noticed that I still owe £252 on a CC, not sure how I missed this but I would love to get rid of this asap.

Should I use my money in my ISA to pay this off is the question?

All help would be great.

    I would pay it off if it were me, personally.

    Pay it off then you know your savings will be working 100% for you and there will be no false economy
    If it doesnt pay rent sell it.
