    No other sugguestion - than to buckle down, cut expenses, pay more than the minimum payment. Stay away from consildations loans especially with your credit rating.

    Please visit the debt free board.

    Why does it matter to have all the debts in one place? Just hammer away at the ones with the higher interest rates. With your adverse credit no-one's going to be offering any lending to you (certainly not high street lenders anyway)
  • thanks for advice i will hammer away at them... there are a few of them all low amounts, i thought if i could transfer them into one place then i could manage it a lot easier. i guess if i concentrate on clearing one at a time then they will dwindle..

    in what way is your credit bad?
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
