Is this a good idea

Hi,
I have the following CC debts
Egg.com £800
Natwest - £2100 (no interest due to bal transfer from egg 6months ago)
BankofScot - £1600
Barclaycard - £80
Now, I've got another 6months or so on the Natwest card before I jump ship to somewhere else as this is my biggest debt, but I'm over the breadline as it were with my monthly outgoings and in order to lessen the amount going out on CC debts, do you think I should spread the debts of the three other cards onto the 3 cards to try and lessen the monthly repayments
So for example so that each card has around £825 on it.
It's the only way I can think of lessening the monthly payments.
After writing this it sounds like a stupid idea, but what do you think?
Cheers

Hi
You need to post up the full inforation about the debts - APR, minimum payment, maximum.
The general rule is pay off the most expensive debt first. you can see how this works by playing the snaowball on www.whatsthecost.com
