Here are five tips to follow that will lead you in right direction toward eliminating your debt.
Pay more than minimum payment each month. The usually minimum payment is only about 2 to 3 % of your balance meaning if you owed $5000 on a credit card with a 2% minimum payment you would only be paying $100 toward decreasing your debt and majority would be applied towards interest. So if you pay more than minimum payment required each month you'll be surprised at how fast your credit card balance goes down.
Next, cancel all of your credit cards by calling all credit card companies except for credit card that gives you lowest interest rate. However, even though you still have a credit card, don't use it unless it is absolutely necessary.
