Re: HELP!! I'm in more CC debt than I can manage.

@BobbyLee2: Thank you! I haven't looked into Discover just yet - but, I'm always receiving offers from them.. 18 months would be a good amount of time to get it all paid off, especially since I won't be using them.

Re: HELP!! I'm in more CC debt than I can manage.

With scores like that, applying for new CC's with 12 - 24 month 0% APR would be your best bet. With only just over 8K in debt, you could seriously pay it down or off within 2 year's with all payments going to the principal. Another option is to go get a consolidation loan from a credit Union. I used SDFCU and they gave me 5 year's at 5.9% APR.

Your scores will support a BT CC.  Simplicity gives you 21 months.  It will give you a chance to hold your head up and pay down the balances.

Agreed with the BT.

If that doesn't work, I'd pay off the Cap One first ASAP.

Re: HELP!! I'm in more CC debt than I can manage.

With ur score and only at 25% uti u shouldn't have a problem getting a balance transfer card. Would recommend chase slate but I don't think they allow balance transfer between their own cards. If I were u I would try for discover. They might even give u a SL where u can transfer everything over

Re: HELP!! I'm in more CC debt than I can manage.

How much per month can you afford to put toward your CC balances (be it principle or interest?).  If you're putting $300 out per month, with BT card like the Discover It offer you'd have more than half of your debt paid down before interest starting kicking back in.  By that time you could likely scoop up another BT offer card for the remaining 40% or whatever and use the same method for another year or so.
