Which one do i pay? last statement balance or current balance of a credit card? i'm confused?

and if current balance amount is less than last statement balance, can i just pay the current balance?|||The current balance is more recent so that's what you pay.|||Ok here is the real deal, pay the current, then destroy the card, then pay 50% over whatever bill comes in next till it is paid off, then never ever get a credit card again, if you cannot save the money in a bank to buy a thing, you cannot afford it.|||You pay the current balance. The last statement balance tells you how much money you owed during the end of the last billing cycle.|||just pay it al off
