However, you haven't put anything down for food, clothes, car tax, entertainment etc. Providing a full SOA would help us to help you more.
Do you have any equity in your home in order to remortgage?
Do you have anything that you can sell?
Have you missed any payments?
Do you have an overdraft which you haven't mentioned?
I would contact CCCS (free service for people in debt) for advice.
STOP spending on the cards.0 -
This thread will help you post a full SOA and provides info on where to go for advice

i have equity in the house, house worth £85000, mortgage at the moment £61000.
I have an overdraft about 300 into it, robbing peter to pay Paul i guess!Nothing to sell, a couple of late payments on my credit cards accounts.0 -
Hello pict_saver
I would suggest you ring the CCCS, they can help negotiate with your creditors to pay back at a rate that does not require robbing peter to pay paul, and they may be able to get interest frozen. Lots of people on here have found them really helpful.
