Consolidate your debt

If you are suffering from the interest on debts with multiple creditors you might want to consolidate the debt under one low interest loan. This can ideally be done through 0% balance transfer credit cards or through a low interest rate card. You can also do this through re-mortgaging your home and using the money to pay off your debts. This, however, is a risky option as any failure to repay can result in you losing your home and you could end up paying more in the long run. Top

Control your finances

Reduce your monthly outgoings until you have more income than expenditure. Once this has been achieved any extra money you earn can be used to pay off your debt early. This can be done by cutting back on luxuries and by being a smart consumer and looking out for deals. This also involves renegotiating your household utility bills and switching providers for the best deal.

Plan you spending better and stop incurring bank charges for being overdrawn. You need to reduce your debts not increase them, so do everything you can to meet the repayment deadlines.

Try to supplement your income by earning more money in your spare time. Such as taking up a part time job for the weekends.
