Right now, we've rates near their best ever, even if you've poor credit, and often quieter call centres if you need to talk. Of course, the key start is don't borrow any more. All new cards require a credit check. 1. Debit cards can be worse than credit cards. Spending on debit cards may feel better than credit cards. But if you're overdrawn, the interest rates can actually be higher. Go beyond the limit, and there are charges too. So treat overdrafts as a debt. Use the Budget Planner to work out how you'll repay. Shift Overdrafts To 0% Cards to see if you can cut costs. 2. Cut the cost of existing card debts to 0% for 23 mths. If you've a decent credit record (if not, see point 5 below), the Best Balance Transfers let you shift debts to a new card at a much lower rate (the new card pays off the old one, so you owe it instead). The cheap rates don't apply to new spending on the card, so avoid that. Here are the top new cardholder deals: Longest 0% deals 0% length One-off fee (1) Rep APR after Barclaycard* 23 months 2.8% (2) 17.9% Barclaycard* 22 months 2.6% 17.9% Tesco* 22 months 2.9% 18.3%-24.2% Lower-fee 0% deals Barclaycard* 12 months 0.9% (2) 19.9% NatWest*/RBS* 13 months 1% 17.9% MBNA Platinum 14 months 1.25% 18.9% Full help & card info in Best Balance Transfers, see APR Examples. (1) % of amount shifted (2) A higher fee's taken, then part-refunded within 28 days. 3. Repay sooner? Go for a lower-fee 0%. As shown above, the choice is between a long 0% and a lower fee. If you'll definitely repay within the shorter 0% period, the low fee's a no brainer. If not, go for a longer deal for safety. On the cusp? Use our Which Card Is Cheapest? tool to help decide. 4. Lock in credit card debts at 5.9% FOR LIFE. New cardholders shifting debt to MBNA Rate for Life* get 5.9% for life, for a one-off 1.5% fee. This means it stays at that rate until all the shifted debt is repaid, so it's perfect if you need longer to repay (you must make at least the min monthly repayment). Don't spend on the card, as that's at 18.9% rep APR. More info & options in Long Term Balance Transfers. 5. Poor credit score? Shift debts to 0% for 6mths. The Capital One* Balance card lets even some with past CCJs/defaults shift debts for 6mths 0% (3% fee). After the 0% ends, it's a big 34.9% representative APR, so either clear by then, or if the cards you shifted debt from have a lower APR, move it back to them. As this card's tricksy, read our Capital One Safety Help. 6. Don't just repay the same on each card. If you've several cards, put all spare cash towards repaying the highest %-rate one, as debt grows faster, and just the minimum on others. Once that debt's clear, focus on the next highest. So you'll be debt-free quicker. See the Credit Card Shuffle. 7. Pay off debts with savings. £1,000 in savings at 2% after tax earns £20 a year. The same debt on an 18% credit card costs £180 a year. Use your savings to repay debt and you're £160 up. Even if it's your emergency fund, often you should still pay it off. See Repay Debts Or Save? for full help. 8. You've a right to reject rate rises. If your card company says it'll up the APR on existing debt - provided you agree not to borrow more - you've a right to Reject Credit Card Rate Rises. 9. Set up a direct debit to avoid credit damage. Even if it's just for the minimum, then you'll never be late, plus you'll avoid fines, black marks and losing your 0% deal. However, always try to repay as much as possible. So if you're paying the minimum, keep making manual payments on top. 10. Haggle with your plastic provider. If you've room within your credit limit, many credit cards have hidden deals allowing you to shift debts to them cheaply, eg, MoneySavers have found Barclaycard at 6.9% for life and Halifax 9mth 0%. This lets you use your existing credit more efficiently and protects your credit score. See Existing Customer Balance Transfers. As a final thought, if debt's taking over your life, bringing sleepless nights and panic, I promise I've never seen a case of unsolvable debt. While it may not be quick nor easy, there's ALWAYS a solution. If you need Debt Crisis Help, make an appointment with a non-profit debt counselling agency: Citizens Advice | CCCS | National Debtline | CAP (if emotional problems too).

The Ones Not To Miss		Wed 31 Oct 2012
It's now time to SWITCH energy and save £300+ As EDF becomes the fifth of the big six to hike prices, we're changing our call to SWITCH NOW (but beware Eon) The story so far: SSE, Npower, British Gas, Scottish Power and EDF have all now announced 6%-11% price hikes. We were saying 'fix but don't switch', but as last Friday EDF became the 5th of the big 6 to announce, and yesterday the last cheap long fix deal was pulled, it's all change. Full help: Cheap Gas & Elec and Cheapest Prepaid Energy. Key tips... Switch now and save £300+/year. The hikes are now factored into comparison sites, so there's a level playing field. A standard tariff with typical use costs £1,390 a year (after hikes). Use the same amount on the cheapest that's already hiked, Npower Online Energy Jan ‘14*, and you'd pay an avg £1,070 a year - £300 less. These deals are variable, so prices can change. If Eon's your winner, be aware it hasn't announced hikes yet and we think an Eon Jan rise is likely. It's the same for some smaller firms, eg, First Utility. Then again, if you save 10%+, you're almost certainly on a winner whatever happens, so go for it. Always compare & get cashback. As your exact cheapest depends on postcode, usage, and whether you're bills or prepaid, plug your info into a comparison site (some on already cheap tariffs may not save). Plus, via these special links, get cashback after c.3 mths. Top comparison: Energyhelpline* £15/ switch. Dual fuel: MoneySup* £30 cashback, uSwitch* a crate of wine. Is it worth fixing? The super-cheap fixes have gone, but EDF Blue March 2015* ensures no hikes for THREE WINTERS. It's £1,250/yr on typical usage, so if you want certainty, it's good. But you'll pay more short-term and if prices elsewhere drop, there are early exit fees. Pick 'fixed tariffs' on comparison sites for a bespoke price. back to top ↑

Mortgage fixes under 2% As new supposedly 'tougher' lending rules are announced, rates hit all-time lows | Help for mortgage prisoners If you read elsewhere that draconian new lending rules mean no-one will ever get a mortgage again, take it with a pinch of salt. Things aren't getting tougher, they're already tough, and that's being codified. Here's what you need to know... Fix now? The joint lowest-ever 2-year fix has been launched by Tesco Bank, at 1.99%, though you can only borrow a max 60% of your home's value. Rates could go lower, but David Hollingworth, from broker London & Country, says: "Holding off in the hope of better rates is risky as the best deals come and go quickly." New rules bring 'mortgage prisoners' hope. The new 2014 rules will mean to get a mortgage, you must prove you can repay it. Yet this reflects today's tough criteria anyway, it'll only hit when things bounce back. One bright spot is lenders can relax remortgaging affordability criteria, hopefully helping those trapped at high rates. See what new mortgage rules mean for you.

This week's poll: Is it time to renationalise energy firms? Until 1986, all energy utilities were Govt-owned. After that, they were privatised into companies with shareholders to try to boost competition. World energy prices have gone up enormously and demands for green investment add to costs, though many are angry at rising household bills. Which of the following is nearest to your view? Nationalise - privatisation clearly hasn't worked Regulate prices - keep them private but the state should strictly control costs Private wins - it's a world market, we gain by keeping private companies		Poll results Are you richer than your parents were? There's a generation gap - older MoneySavers fare better. - 65% of over-65s much better off than parents at same age. - Only 26% of U30s felt the same. - 15% of U30s feel much worse off, compared to 3% of over-65s. 14,553 voted - see full results.
Question of the week Q: Do I have any rights if I transfer money to someone, but put the wrong details in, so the money is lost? Gavin, by email. MSE Sally's A: You don't have rights as such, but that doesn't mean the money is gone forever. Contact your bank, not the recipient's as under the Payment Service Regulations, it must take reasonable steps to try to recover the money. It should be able to trace the payment and return it to you, but can charge for this - check the terms and conditions. According to the Payments Council, it's like putting the wrong address on a letter. Often, it'll be returned to the sender. But if that doesn't happen and the letter is ignored, issues can occur. Similarly, if requests to return money are ignored or refused, there can be problems. The Payments Council is reviewing the system to come up with better solutions and reduce the chance of errors. It wants to hear from anyone who has made a mistake sending money. If it's happened to you, tell it. Suggest a Question of the Week (we can't reply to individual emails).
