    Depends on a lot of things especially your credit history, financial situation, ability to repay. A bank will not take on a €7k debt just like that as easy as some people may say it is.

    Apply to a few institutions and see how you get on.

    You need to pay that down asap. That's very expensive credit.

    If you're finding it hard to pay off your credit card, you'll probably find it hard to change credit card company.

    It really depends on your job stability and ability to repay your debt. They'll probably ask you for at least 6 months worth of bank statements and if the balance is hovering around zero and your credit card balance is slowly rising I doubt you'd have much hope.

    Would you consider a credit union loan? 7% interest rather than 19%.
