Not unless you are in default.
After all interest is how they make their money, can you not try transferring somewhere else? Have you tried asking them to reduce the rate? Have you missed payments in the past?0 -

You may want to visit the Debt Free Wannabe board for advice on saving money/cutting your expenditure so that you can throw more money at your debt.0

Also if £60 is the minimum payment DON'T MAKE THE MINIMUM PAYMENT!!!!!
PAY £60 PER MONTH EVERY MONTH, THE MINIMUM PAYMENT WILL GO DOWN AS THE DEBT DOES BUT THE LONGER YOU TAKE TO PAY IT OFF THE MORE INTEREST WILL COMPOUND.
Unless you have more expensive debts (I hope not in this case) or the debts are 0% (they aren't) NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER (you get the idea) MAKE THE MINIMUM PAYMENT EVERY MONTH.
