I agree on all that other stuff you said. Add the penalty and the income tax hit and she might end up with 3k in hand for a 6k debt.
A better option would be to apply for a new credit card and transfer the balance. Especially one with no interst on the balance transfer.
Then cut the credit card in half, eat oodles of noodles for a year, and get it paid off.
Her other option would be to marry a rich guy. That'd probably be quicker.

I will see if I can hook her up with one.

Thanks for the responses so far guys. I really did not know what to advise as I have never owned a CC in my life.
