    OP,


    have I read this correctly? - you took out a £10k personal loan at 14% in January this year (of course they wont drop it, you have only just taken it out!).....then just a few months later you need an additional £15,000k


    So that's £25k of borrowing. Lets say £4k max for a new boiler and £3.5k for the credit cards....what was the other £17.5k for?


    I think the OP wants to consolidate the RBS loan and credit card plus borrow a bit extra to replace the boiler. Not that I would recommend that course of action either.

    Yes that's how I read it.

    I think that is a really wise decision. Plenty of people on here can offer advice on that - maybe post a SOA in the Debt Free Wannabe section
