Looking for some advice and wondering if what I am thinking is a good though process or could end up hurting me.
In 2004ish I opened a OD with a Credit Union in Vancouver and have never been able to pay it off. The OD is $2,000 and it currently charges 21% interest rate.
I later then got a secure credit card through Capital One which I have done well with and they just recently said I can increase my limit on it up to $5,000. The interest rate on this card is 14.9% for purchases.
I am thinking of accepting the new limit on my card and paying off the OD through the credit union thus freeing me up with extra payments to a company per month as well as having a lower interest rate.
I know my payments will increase to the credit card but they will be at a lower interest rate.
I know this may seem like a no brainer for some but I want to see if I'm thinking the right way here.
