Working through it.

Ok so this is a bit of what would you do.

I have been working through my debts and paying things down. I owed at the height of it, around 20k 3 years ago. I'm now left with the following.

CC1 £3010 APR 0%
CC2 £3100 APR 19%
CC£ £1400 APR 16%
Loan £480 3 months left to pay.

The 0% interest on CC1 is about to end. I am about to get some early inheritance from my Dad, no idea of the exact value but I think I will have around £2k to put towards one of the debts.

The loan I will leave as there is no interest left to pay.

The obvious thing to do is to pay the high interest card first, but I would quite like the Barclays one paid off to simplify things.

What would you do?

My credit rating is shot to hell, so a 0% card is not going to happen.

    What rate is the 0% card going to revert to shortly?


    You mention Barclays - is that the one your refer to as CC£, with the smallest balance?
