GO FOR IT! Just keep the other account open and make sure you do not get a new replacement card in it's place. Then pick away at paying it off. Once you have it almost paid off, then close the first account and your credit report will be OK. Don't stick with this card....they are getting too much interest from you. Just make sure you stop using credit cards now and get them paid off. Once you get your balance paid off, you can call the credit card issuer and ask them to put a lower available credit line on your credit card. Say they give you a $8000 limit, after you get it paid off, ask for a $4000 limit and then you have a card for emergencies and you won't end up in such high credit card debt again. You can also ask the issuer to NOT give you any credit line increases without you asking for them. This will help prevent you from using credit you don't need to be using right now. Also, one last thing, make sure that when you do the balance transfer it is FREE and that they are not going to charge you 2% or any of that. Some of them will give you a flat 2% or a maximum of $50.00. I would say that is OK considering the amount of money you are throwing away on interest right now. Good luck :o) If you can get a new card that will ACCEPT The full balance transfer at a 0% interest rate for a year. GO FOR IT!
