Would I still be able to use my Maestro card which has my salary on it? Because if I give up all my credit cards, I would need to pay bills when cash is not appropriate eg. by post?

If its a credit card you will not be able to use it. You will only be allowed a debit card. You could set up direct debits for your bills

You could also get a pre-paid cash card. I think that Cleardebt offer one of these, and for details you can go to David's website on his profile page.

I think maestro is a debit card, if it is, as others have said, it will be fine.

I have a visa debit card with my current acount and thats allowed as its not a credit card and i have no overdraft facility.

Loads of pre pay credit cards around you could look into also if you don't want to be without a credit card facility,
Be positive & look after yourself, there are more important things in life than debts....

Best Wishes

Hi
If your bank accont that the Maestro card applies to is not one of your creditrs thenyou can keep it.
If it is a card that your wages are paid onto,i;e a pre paid card then again no problem
