Now putting things on Ebay to sell to add to my weekly contributions rather than make monthly payments some how I incrued more interest even though my combined monthly payment was double the minimum? Cant get my head around that - as I paid less interest last month?3935.89/11885 34% trying my best to be positive about clearing this by ChristmasBright note I do have £3000 in savings keeping that in case I loose my job in another lock down
Trying to figure out is it worth making little payments weekly or a big payment when due?
Thanks

How much are you paying in interest? How many credit cards do you have and who with?
I get you wanting to hold onto your savings...but I suspect you will be paying more in interest incurring debt than you will sat in your savings account (Mine is about 0.95% at the moment which is pants). Please check out Martin Lewis main site he explains about using your savings to pay off debt unless its on 0% deals. If you pay off say £2500 and keep £500 back you then might be able to get some 0% balance transfer deals which would help with the debt busting.
Please note I am not trying to teach you to suck eggs, I am trying t help.
Best of luck.
