  • If egg have cancelled your card it seems your credit rating might already have taken a knock. Are you maintaining minimum payments on each?

    Post up your SOA so the good folks here can point you in the direction of savings. Also check your credit file, if it is still in good nick then apply for a 0% Balance Transfer Card, at least it will stop interest accruing, and as the minimum payments will start to fall you may well stop the rot and start heading in the DFW direction

    Definately post up your SOA, as it sounds like you need to start making cuts in other areas or increase your income to sort some of this debt out. Posting up your SOA will allow fresh eyes to come up with some great ideas. Best of luck with it all.
