Ok, so new to the site and forum so not really sure how things work, or if I'm even writing in the right thread!?
I have £3,444.62 worth of loans etc to pay off, all "credit" so to speak. My question is, what is the easiest and quickest way to pay them all. I am currently paying a "minimum" each week / month, but it's driving me insane always being so skint because of it!
I don't have a very good credit rating (I get 70% on the balance transfer eligibility calc), I don't have any credit cards, just my current account. Can I use a credit card to "balance transfer" money in to my current account, pay off all of the money and then just owe one source a payment which I can then pay consistently once a month? Or would this be a money only transfer? In which case my eligibility came up as 0%!
So so confused as to what to do, unfortunately we have only got in to this position as my husband was diagnosed with terminal cancer 2 years ago, we both had to stop working and I have become his full time carer, we have now used all of our savings.
Some one please help me make sense of this!

This would be better on the Debt Free Wannabe forum.
Perhaps a moderator could move it?0
