Hiya I think I have just had one of those Light Buld moment where you look at yourself and think, jesus how did I get in such a mess, I could tell you a whole sob story but thats not going to help so I guess all Im after is some advice of the best way to sort myself out.
I have just worked out the following :-
I have 4 credit cards
HSBC Mastercard - £4,500 OWED and paying interest
Egg - £4.56 CREDIT !!
Capital One - £6,000 OWED and interest free euns out in June
MBNA - £8,000 Owed and intrest runs out this month
I live with parents and earn 30,000 a year (I know what you thinking)
But I really would like to sort this out asap I have already started thinking of ways to save money but any other ideas would be great
I guess balance transfers are the way forward ???
Help please !!!

I would BT and with the breathing space try and work out a way of becoming debt free.
If you want some ideas of ways to save it might be an idea to do up a statement of affairs (SOA) and we can see if there are any areas that can be cut/found cheaper.0 -
Hi there,
I think Virgin Money are doing interest free for 15 months on balance transfers, worth looking at.
Good luck, hope you get yourself sorted soon.Opinions are like bottom holes, we all have one
