Big or small, every debt problem can be solved
In this section you’ll find advice about how to get out of credit card debt and ways to reduce your credit card debt.
We'll also highlight what you can do if you can't afford your monthly repayments.
Credit card debt is easy to get into and sometimes very difficult to free yourself out of.
In an ideal world, you should pay off as much as you can afford on your credit card because the more you owe, the more interest you will accrue. But that is not always possible if you are struggling financially.
Don’t fall into the trap of thinking you are managing your credit card debt by paying the minimum amount every month, because your debt will only grow month on month.
Missing payments will also lead to charges, further adding to your debt.
If you are experiencing problems, the first thing to do is to stop using your card and destroy it.
It is also a good idea to contact your card provider and let them know about your situation, if you can agree a repayment plan with them, make sure that it is realistic and affordable.
Our specialists can quickly advise you on what to do if you can't pay your credit cards.
