Overdraft

I have an overdraft of £1,900.00. I am unemployed and having to pay approximately £26.00 per month in interest for this overdraft. What is the best way for me to this off as I cannot afford a loan. Is there any credit cards at 0% i8nterest that would pay this bank overdraft off?

    As you are unemployed no credit card lender will give you any type of card let alone a 0% one.
    Contact CAB or one of the other debt charities.
    You will probably have to open a basic bank account with a new bank and default on your overdraft. This will screw your credit rating but I can't see an alternative unless you can sell stuff to pay back the bank.

    Easier said than done and I'm sure OP has thought of this.
