Hi, thanks for the quick replies, I totally agree with you re: finance control, this is a card I actually seldom use, I've just moved house and was sorting out all the bank details etc. I'd overlooked this card as I tend to buy things i need cash or save up to get them. It was when i was sorting my finances out i noticed the DD going out, it was paying the minimum payment so didn't go down much, I'm going to pay half of it straight away, but want the other part to go to a 0% transfer so I can quickly pay the balance off and get rid of the card altogether. I wanted to understand how the interest is worked out. Numbers aren't my strong point so it takes a while to sink in, I'm also numerically dyslexic which doesn't help. I'll try and find the topic that referred to APR's not always being what they seem. Best regards Lee
