Has anyone got any bright ideas as to how I can clear £1200 of credit

card debt before I go to uni? Stupidly, I took out a couple of credit cards with a combined limit of £1200. Other than paying off the minimum payments, has anyone got any ideas as to how I can clear it before I go to uni in October 2008? I'm on my gap year at the moment, and the temping agency I'm with is failing to find me work, consistently. If anyone knows of any company that is desperate for people (in or around Essex) that pays reasonably well, then please say.

Why don't you sell your 'junk' on eBay?

Find a 2nd job. Shouldn't take you long to clear up 1200 bucks.

why don't you try to get another credit card which combines the 'couple' of cards you already have, that way you will only be paying one load of interest and will then pay it off quicker... or just get one with a 0% balance transfer....
