PayPal credit

I’m looking for some advice I have roughly got £2500 on PayPal credit and I was looking for a way to transfer it to credit card or something so I don’t have to pay the interest anymore .

But I’ve never touched credit cards in my life and they frighten me.

    You'd need a 0% money transfer card. But if you have a thin file, you probably won't get one. Try an eligibility checker to get some kind of idea.

    You don't need to be any more afraid of credit cards than of PayPal credit. Both have the ability to leave you with a £2,500 debt and incurring interest.

    If you can't shift the debt, you need to overpay as hard as possible. Head for the DFW boards for advice on cutting your costs and repaying faster.
