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

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.0 -
