Avalanche vs snowball strategy
Avalanche — highest interest rate firstmathematically best
Pay minimums on all debts, then put every spare pound at the highest APR debt. For you: Credit Spring first (~39%+ APR), then overdraft. Saves the most in total interest.
Snowball — smallest balance firstpsychological wins
Costs marginally more in interest but builds momentum quickly. Works well if motivation is your challenge. For you: overdraft (~£200) then Credit Spring.
With a £1,413/mo surplus, you could wipe out all ~£800–1,000 of consumer debt in one or two months. Do it immediately — the interest you're paying is guaranteed negative return.
