    Bit difficult to fully understand what you've written, but general rule is to pay at least the minimum on all cards and use any extra cash to pay the most off the card with the highest rate.

    Sorry first time on here was trying to say have been offered £400 balance transfer should I use it towards card owing £700 or card owing£3500 both at 24%

    If they're both at the same interest rate then it doesn't really matter.

    Personally I'd use it against the £700 so I could get that card completely clear.
