Paying off my CC?

Hello, my first post here, so please go easy on me.
I have an MBNA card with around £3, 500 on. I used this card mainly when I was on Maternity leave with our 1 year old son and have never got round to paying it off. Things escalated and here I am, £3, 500 in debt on a card that I can't use (up to limit).:o
I am paying off around £200-£300 a month, but paying about £70 in interest each month. I have missed a couple of payment (due to laziness, I admit) but have now got myself sorted with internet banking and can pay it off using the computer.
Anyone have any suggestions for a better solution or card I can change to with a good deal? Oh, and I have a phobia of talking on the phone, so if I could apply on line it would be great.
Thanks

Use the moneysaving site links to search for a new credit card offering a 0% or reduced rate life of balance card. Lots let you apply online. Just don't do loads of applications, in case it effects your credit rating.Some days, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps....
