Best way to clear my debt?
Ireallywanttobedebtfree
Posts: 3 Newbie
Hello everyone
I've got myself stuck in a muddle. I need some advice on the best way to get me all sorted ASAP. I really need to get myself sorted ASAP.
My debts are: £8000 loan - 17 months left at £427 per month
1 x credit card: £3500.00, interest free until December 2013
Overdraft: £5000.00
I can afford £600 per month, maybe £650 MAX.
Any help would be much appreciated. I have excellent credit report and never miss payments but I want this all tidied up ASAP!
Many thanks to anyone who has any ideas for me.

People can help you out with advising on ways to cut back.
I'd pay off the O/D and the loan first as you have another 6 months 0% on the card."All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered, the point is to discover them."
