Dear all
as it stands on 10/04/07, I have managed to reduce my debt to £31k now. However I have just sold my car and I have £2000 spare, even though I m snowballing but I m not sure if thats working. As you can see I have loans & CC both. Credit cards give me a flexibility to pay as and when but they don't reduce the debt whereas with loans I know I will finish my loans by a certain month and year. So now the question is shall i pay my loan by credit card at 3.9% life of balance transfer. I m confused please look at my debts and help me understand what should I pay with £2000 i have extra.
