Hi, I have 3 debts I am looking to reduce.
HSBC credit card - £5500 (21.9%) This is now a loan as basically as they removed the credit from me
Santander credit card - £2000 (18.9%)
Lloyds loan - £2200 (9.9%) £45 minimum payment (60 months remaining)
Santander credit card - £2000 (18.9%)
Lloyds loan - £2200 (9.9%) £45 minimum payment (60 months remaining)
I have £400 a month to pay additional to these debts what would advise I aim to reduce first? I have paid £1000 off the Santander card in the last 2 months
Thanks
Thanks
