3. Don't rely on an overdraft
4. Pay outright if possible to avoid credit card debt
5. Shop around for the best prices
6. Avoid buying from unauthorised traders
7. Do your own credit checks on card interest rates
8. Always read the small print on credit card terms
9. Be organised and repay outstanding debts on time
10.Start planning and saving for next Christmas.
