Sorry but the only way to get the debt down is to pay more.
Do a monthly budget of your incomings and outgoings, see what you can cut down on, throw it at your debt.
Get a second job if you can, even a few hours a week in a bar, mcDonalds, etc and throw that at your debt too.
Good luck
And the best advice I can give you is cut them up, it stops you geting into further debt.make the most of it, we are only here for the weekend.

What is the interest on your cards? Can you consolidate both and pay them off with a bank loan with a lower rate of interest, so pay off more capital?
Or, if you have good credit history, apply for a card with a good BT interest free period like 20 months and BT the balance to it.
All depends on your credit history.0
