Credit card companies won't help !!

Hi everyone !
Due to me having to leave my marital home two years ago, i have had to start life again. The problem is i have had to take on most of the debts as well for various reason.
Anyway, this year i thought it's time to stop paying the minimum payments and try and negotiate with my two credit card companies to either change them to a 'life of the balance' deal or reduce the rate. But none of them are interested in helping me out, even when i tell them i will transfer to another card !!!!!

Does anyone have any other suggestions ??????

Thanks

Martin

    You have to find some way out of minimum payment. I guess you have a poor credit history and may find it difficult to get a BT onto a 0% card? Your only option may be a loan.
