    You'd be better posting a statement of affairs on the debt-free wannabe board and saying 'what should i do?'

    There's really nothing to go on on your post and this is a bit of a specialist board so doesn't get many views

    best option for clearing debt.

    Don't see debt charities suggesting this as an alternative.
