  • Thank you everyone. I spoke to my partner and we are in agreement. I have just now used the savings we had put aside from March income to pay off Credit Card 2 and have paid 70 pound off credit card 1. With our new plan we should be credit card clear in June and able to restart our savings. Unfortunately we had only just restarted saving in March so not enough to cover all the cards unfortunately!

    That makes sense. At those interest rates clearing the cards is an emergency.
