    Don't take on any more debt for now, I'd focus on paying off that career loan (if you have £2k in cash and both in secure jobs I'd overpay it into that loan if you can).

    Look for a promotion/overtime/way to make a bit more £ and chuck it at that 9.9% loan.

    As mentioned above, if you can get out of the car loan and drive something cheaper without costing yourself money I'd do that too.

    If you managed to pay off £2k on another card you're definitely in a good state of mind for tackling all this! :)

    Get the debts under control then start saving for a holiday, use this as your reward/end goal to keep you motivated, good luck!
