Hi all! I have been doing some debt reconstruction. I have been having trouble just paying the minimum since about April. I go a new cc at the beginning of the month. It has 8.9% on purchase and balance transfer until they paid off and they do not have to be paid off by a certain date. The original idea was that I would transfer one, if not, two of my high interest cards. I end up being able to transfer 5 credit cards. I called my new cc (Capital One), to check and see if everything has been transfer last Thursday (August 12). Everything got transfer and they increased my credit limit. Therefore, I transfer my last two ccs. I close all my cc except GM & Capital One. My A T & T card still had a balance on it, because they accrue interest daily from the time the statement is printed until they receive the payment. So, I sent them a check for the balance plus $2. I figure what ever I have left over on any of these cards. I will ask for a check for my credit amount and apply it to Capital One.


My plan to pay off Capital One is to take the minimum payment
