More Advice On Saving Money So You Can Pay Your Credit Card

We have spoken about this before but it is worth reiterating the point.

Look for 0% balance transfers on other credit cards.

Phone your credit card company and explain to them you are thinking of getting a balance transfer. Many banks will then offer you a lower percentage on interest if you do this.

Always pay off more of the most expensive credit card first and minimum payments of the cheaper ones.

You can also make savings in other parts of your life. If you use these savings to put towards paying off your credit cards you will get out of debt quicker.

You can make savings in the following areas:

• Organise your direct debits so they come out of your account all around the same time. Preferably when you get paid. This means that you know when all the payments are coming out. You can work out how much they come to. So you know how much you need. Also if they come out on the same day as your direct debits etc then you will not have time to spend the money on other things.

• If you have numerous credit cards you can get a debt consolidation loan. Make sure you get one that will save you money. Some are a rip off and cost more than paying off all your credit cards. Also having a debt consolidation loan will help as it will come out of your account automatically and can be done when you get paid to save you from spending the money on something else.
