Hi guys,

Let start a discussion about apply for personal loan to pay cc debt. Is it a good move if we apply for personal loan (interest rate about 6% p.a) to pay off credit card debt (1.5% p.m = 18% p.a)?

from my point of view, it is a good move, we save about 12% p.a. am I correct?

Personal loan is more expensive/or about the same with credit card.
Credit card is charging 1.5% on the amount you owe but personal loan still charging 6% p.a. for the amount you loan even you paid off half of it.
Stop using credit card if you couldn't pay up.

18% per year is just nominal rate, means u actually have to pay more than that, the actual effective rate is 19.56%. so u are saving 13.56% per annual if u can find a 6% personal loan smile.gif

Dude, how do you comparing a flat rate to reducing balance rate?
They are totally out.
