How to Handle Credit Card Debt

Credit card markets are all about laughably long interest-free spells at the moment and its very easily transferable credit balances. At the moment the best Equilibrium Transfers quote is Virgin at 41 month Pay attention to the Equilibrium Transfers Charge, which is the countervalue of 4 percent of the amount you are transferring, added to the debt.
