I know some of the usual stuff such as spend less... never use the card again, pay more than the minimum etc.
.
Unfortunately, I had serious medical expenses and ran up a debt of around $16,000 with Bank Of America with an APR of 24.24%
I have another credit card which is from HSBC with a $7,500 limit with a 6.something APR. This card is empty,
I have the following 3 options, which one makes the most sense?
1. Transfer $7000 to the HSBC Card with the lower interest rate, and continue using the higher interest card for daily purchases, but work harder to pay it first.
2. Transfer $5000 to the HSBC card, freeze the Bank Of America card, and use only the HSBC card for purchases. I would then have to work on paying them off equally, since I need some room to spend money.
3. Freeze the Bank of America card, and only use the lower rate card for purchases. I don't think this option make sense.
What to you suggest? Any other suggestions?
Thanks
