which credit card to pay first

  • I agree with CLAPTON.
    Pay off the highest APR first as this is the one costing you the most ££ in interest!

    Then the next highest and so on.....
    Use a snowball calculator like

    This will put things into order.

  • Another vote for paying the minimum plus £1 on the lower APR cards and as much as possible on the card with the highest APR.

    As a matter of interest do you have a current account with any of your credit card providers? This is probably only an issue if you are struggling to make minimum payments but Martin advises against having a current account with a bank you have a credit card with as they can take money from your account to pay your debt. That might be the only exception to the pay the highest APR recommendation.
  • thank you all for advice,

    wish me luck the start of becoming debt free :j
  • Good luck!
