    If I was a lender looking at your situation, my immediate thought is, I could very well double your debt and put myself in to a situation whereby I’ll never get the money back without taking some form of legal proceeding against you.

    now, I don’t know your full circumstance, the property net worth (equity etc) and any savings tucked away you may have, but what I do know is that if I were to lend you £30k to ‘pay off your cc’s, how do I know that you won’t then proceed to do this and load the cc’s back up with another £30k, effectively putting you in to £60k worth of debt. That’s more than your annual income.

    as mentioned by previous posters, debt consolidation rarely works and is a slippery slope - I learnt the hard way.
    If you believe you can, you will. If you believe you can't, you won't.

    Secured/Unsecured loans x 1 
    Credit Cards x 8 (total limit £55,050)
    Creation FS Retail Account x 1
    Creation Credit Sale 0% x 1 = £112.50pm x 20 mths
    0% Overdraft x 1 (£0 / £250)
    Mortgage Outstanding - £137,707.00 (Payment 13/360)
    Total Debt = £7,400 (0%APR) @ £100pm - Stoozing
