    Most credit cards have a minimum payment equal to 2% or 3% of your outstanding balance. That means 56 GBP or 84 GBP on the first card and 60 GBP or 90 GPB on the second. If you read your monthly statement, this will be clearly spelled out. Or is this a homework assignment?

    If you are trying to pay them off, you need to pay more than the minimum.

    Read your own question - that is what you asked

    Pay the minimum on the 14% card

    And attack the other card aggressively until you get a statement that shows $0

    Do not close the acocunt - just let it sit open

    Then... attack the other card and pay that off aggressively

    Don't worry about how long it will take - just do your best

    Stop using the cards today
