Plan a Route Out of a Small Amount of High-Interest Debt
The debt is not enormous but it is costing you in interest every month and you have not got a plan for it. This orders the repayments, calculates the cost of the current approach, and gives you a month-by-month plan for the first three months. You get a date to be finished by.
