Where to start!!!!!

A question about : Where to start!!!!!

Hi

This is my first time posting I have been a lurking for years but would appreciate any help that anyone can give me regarding my situation.

My husband and I are recently married and live together in a council house, I work full time as a teaching assistant and my husband doesn't work due to ill health but receives a private pension from the company he did work for, so still receives a wage effectively every month.

Argos. Does this constitute being unreasonable?

A question about : Argos. Does this constitute being unreasonable?

We are 30 or so months in a DMP with SC. Total was about Ј50k spread over a dozen or so creditors, all in the high thousands, apart from Argos who we only owed about Ј550.
As such they only get a tiny slice of the Ј350 we pay SC each month, of around Ј8.

However since day one, on a monthly basis they apply interest of around Ј5, and also say my min payment is Ј16 and charge me a missed payment fee of Ј12 for only paying Ј7, so every month SC pay them Ј7, and they add on about Ј15 in charges.

Help with credit card debt

A question about : Help with credit card debt

Hi all,

I am just hoping to get some advice about my current credit card debt.

I currently have a balance of Ј2,500 on my tesco credit card which has 0% on balance transfers until June 2015. I can only afford to pay Ј100 per month, so I obviously cant pay the balance off before the 0% deal ends. I am just a bit unsure as to what to do?

Am I better off paying the Ј100 per month until June then trying to switch to another 0% card? or should I try to switch to a card now with 28 months at 0%?
