You have 2 credit cards that are almost maxed out Will your credit score raise if you pay half of the balance of each of them or should you pay one completely off and still have the balance on the oth?
Your score is like a report card, it takes time. Payment updates, opening a new account or closing an account could cause your score to fluctuate. If you plan on keeping the card after paying it off, this could help increase your score because it will show that you have an available line of credit. Having bank card accounts with a valid credit limit can have a positive impact on your credit score.
What if you are not able to pay your balance on a credit card?
First and foremost, don't ignore it. If you can't pay the balance, put the card somewhere where you can't use it anymore. Then contact the credit company and explain the situation. Often, they'll be willing to work out a payment plan; that way, they're getting some money and you're fulfilling your obligation. They may close your account. You can also have the debt charged off, where you agree to pay a percentage of the balance in one lump sum, but this is usually a last resort and doesn't look good on your credit history. Call the company, find someone good to talk with and work out a payment schedule you can both live with.

What is the difference between pay and payment?
Pay is a verb (often): Pay me now for the day. Or, your pay often means what you take home: My pay is too low for all my expenses. Payment: I mailed in the payment on my credit card. I worked out a payment plan with the IRS and will pay them $100 a month until my debt is paid off. You owe a minimum payment every month on your credit card. You can pay it online or you can pay them by mailing in a check.
Should you default on credit card bills thus ruining your credit record or sell your car which is in good condition and likely to last a few more years?
Sell your car to pay down your debt and buy a beater. Have you contacted the credit card companies? It may make sense to call them to discuss payment arrangements. I have a client who had a $25,00 credit card bill with payments over $1000/month. By calling, they were able to get the rate lowered to around 8% and a monthly payment of $600 for one year after which the credit card company would review the payment plan. Many of the credit card companies are instituting these types of arrangements so, even of you do sell your car, you may want to try and work out a payment arrangement to suit your budget.
Is it better to pay the full amount or the minimum amount on a credit card?
It is nearly always better to pay a credit card balance in full BEFORE the billing cycle closes. I say "nearly" because it really depends on how a person wants to be seen: as a "deadbeat" or as a "revolver". These are credit card industry terms that describe the two types of credit card users. A deadbeat pays their balance in full every month, on time, preventing the credit card company from applying any interest to the unpaid balance. (Hence the term "deadbeat). If a person does NOT pay the balance in full each month and carries a balance forward to the next billing cycle, they will be known as a "revolver" because they carry a revolving balance to which the credit card issuer will apply an interest charge. Depending on the balance carried, a revolver can pay a big bag of money in interest over time depending on the rate of interest the card issuer charges. My suggestion for building a good credit rating with a credit card issuer: when making purchases on a a credit card, try to keep the balance somewhere between 15% and 40% of the credit card limit. Less than 15% and the card company doesn't see you as a viable user, more than 40% and your ratio of consumed to available credit gets too high, causing the card issuer to view you as a higher credit risk. Do not wait for the bill to come. Know when the billing cycle closes and be certain that the payment gets to it's destination BEFORE the date the billing cycle closes. (Many card companies play games with the "time" that the payment must be received on a given date. If the payment arrives after that time on that day, LOTS of not nice things can happen - so watch out!) I recommend allowing the credit card issuer to make a little money - but on THE CONSUMER'S terms. This is how: When paying the bill, pay all but $10 to $15 of the balance. That small remaining balance permits the card company to assess an interest charge. The next month, pay the ENTIRE balance (in full). Following this plan your credit score will slowly rise and after a period of time (provided all other debt is paid as agreed) you will be inundated with more card offers than you may want. Be careful. I see a LOT of people in trouble with credit cards. It's an excellent idea to have insurance (not through a credit card company) that will pay the monthly debt if one is unable to work for any reason. Credit card companies are in business to make money. They have no compassion for unfortunate circumstances (no matter how good you think your excuse is for not paying on time). Protect yourself and use credit to YOUR advantage. Again, be careful. This can be very dangerous territory where one wrong step can follow you for many years.
What are the cheapest credit card debt services?
In the UK, credit card debt services can be sought out for free. There is the Citizens Advice Bureau who will be able to give free, impartial advice to people who are in need of assistance. In the first instance, talk to the credit card providers and see if it is possible to set up a mutually agreeable payment plan.
