Many Americans are saddled with a variety of debt and struggle with the decision on how to proceed in paying it down.

Having extra money to put toward your debt is always a good problem to have.

But where should that money go? No question, pay down your credit card debt first.

Credit card debt is high-interest debt. Mortgages, auto loans and student loans generally carry single digit interest rates, while credit card interest averages nearly 15% and can be as high as 30% in some cases.

Paying down high interest debt first will save you a good amount of interest payments over time.

Credit card debt is bad debt. A credit score is compiled using a variety of factors, but a high amount of credit card debt weighs against a consumer more than a high mortgage debt.

But the 8pc rise can be taken by train companies as an average, meaning passengers could face even higher increases in their commuting costs.

Elsewhere, the wider consumer prices index (CPI) rate of inflation increased to 4.4pc in July, from 4.2pc the previous month, triggering a letter of explanation from Bank of England governor Sir Mervyn King to Chancellor George Osborne.

The Government changed the formula for calculating rail fare increases from 2012 – from RPI plus 1pc to RPI plus 3pc.
