£86 in ISA leave it or close it?

Hi
First time posting on this forum (hope it's the right one).
I have a Cash ISA with Nationwide, as I have lots of debts which I'm currently paying off, I only have £86 in there.
Was just wondering if I should leave the money in it, or if I should close it and pay the £86 off of one of my credit cards, hardly seems worth having with only £86.
Thanks for any replies.

If you are paying interest on your credit cards then pay it off one of them0

Absolutely pay it off. The interest on your ISA is bound to be less than the interest on your cards - and as you said, for £86 it's not really worth it.
KiKi' <-- See that? It's called an apostrophe. It does not mean "hey, look out, here comes an S".0 -
Yep. I agree, too. Tackle the debts first. Build up a bit of a cushion in an easy access account, next. Then, start saving in a Cash ISA.
Good luck.0
