Try to double the minimum payment due but if that is not yet possible, pay as much extra each month that you can afford. By achieving the goal of paying the smallest account balance first, you will become more motivated to continue on your quest.

b. Alternatively, the second way would be to take the account with the largest annual percentage rate and work your plan of attack on this bill first. Again, try to double the payment or at least pay as much extra as you can.

4. Continue following the plan you have chosen. Make the minimum payment on your other accounts while putting all extra money towards your first chosen credit card to eliminate.

5. Once your first bill is paid off, take that same payment you had been making and apply it towards your next credit card. This extra amount, along with the minimum payment due, will really begin to take a chunk off that balance.

6. Keep following the plan until all credit cards have been paid off. Do no use those accounts again to keep the balances at zero.
