See Where Your Payment Goes

A credit card payment does not always reduce the balance by the full amount. Interest may be taken first.

Example: £90 payment on a £3,000 balance

Payment made£90
Estimated interest£62.50
Balance reduced£27.50
What this meansA person can pay every month and still feel stuck if interest takes a large share of the payment first.
