Sorry but with your debt nearly equal to your annual salary you are going to struggle to get any new credit elsewhere.
You need to throw as much money as possible at the highest interest rate card and pay just over minimum on the others.
You need to look at seriously at:
1) Can you earn any more money
2) What can you cut back on and save money on
Throw everything you can at the debt
Get over to the debt free wannabe section..........0 -

Could I transfer it to a Interest free account
Sorry to be blunt, but you are not likely to get accepted for an interest-free deal.
To start applying for a new card now, getting refused and applying again and again.....will worsen your credit file even more, as it makes you look desperate for credit (which, of course, you are).
As previously mentioned, go to the 'debt-free-wannabee' board!0 -
