    Well the obvious answer is to pay more. Can you earn more/spend less elsewhere in order to do this?

    If not, then a 0% BT card may be an option. You'll pay a circa 3% fee to shift the debt, but this will be recouped in around 2 months if you're currently on 15.9% APR or so.

    What's your credit report like?
    How much is the debt?
