After Some Transfer Advice Please

I would like to pick the brains of you guys to help me reduce my credit cards if I may?


Egg - £0 and a limit of £8,600.

Capital One - £8,093.97 limit of £10,300 Interest is 3.9% for life of however I transferred roughly £,2000 after the intro period. Life interest last month was £21 other rate was 12.5% with last months interest at £19.59.

Tesco - £5,549.54 (£5,600 limit) 7.9% for life of balance.

Morgan Stanley - £2,484.27 (£2,700 limit) Not sure on APR but last months interest was £12.25.

As I buggered up my Capital One Life Rate do you think it would be worth phoning them and saying that I am going to transfer all to Egg unless they can offer me a better rate (on the money I buggered up) and another £2000 up to my limit from another card, as long as the APR is better??

Does this make sense? Sorry, all these figures hurt! :confused:

    Your going to threaten Cap One that you'll move around £8K from 3.9% LOB & 12.5% to Egg at 15.9%. :confused:

    A quick fix, while you take stock, might be your Egg anniversary. When is it?
  • Yeah only threaten but not go through with it if they can't offer me anything!

    Egg date was 3 months ago!
