Bank of America Credit line

I am really looking to consolidate credit card debt.  Right now I pay 950 a month in credit card debt but the interest rates are killing me.  I tried to go through Bank of america but was denied.  Is there any other companies who offer line of credit offers such as these?  Let me know.

I would try a bank or credit union you have a good relationship with. It's better to use the funds from an installment loan to pay off this CC debt.

Do you own a house? You could always try for a home equity line...
 
Also, have you tried just calling the CCC and asking them to bring down their interest rate? Even if they will only come down a few points, if you have been with them awhile they might be willing to work with you.
 
Heard of any good 0% balance transfers lately? Sometimes you can get approved easier for those since you are just transferring debt...

Also, I think the key behind the 0% balance transfers on new cards will be your FICO score. If your utilizations are above 10% on your credit card lines, it may be dropping your FICO scores, causing the cc companies to give you higher interest rates.....so a 0% BT card may be tricky to get approved for.
