in Credit cards
In regard to balance transfers.
I have current accoutn with Barclays, with a £600 overdraft.
I am over the overdraft by about £400
So I'm £1k ni debt.
Can I apply for a 0% balance transfer credit card and use that to clear the overdraft +extras as I am getting charged by the bank for being voer the over draft, then pay the card off in monthly installments before the 0% period ends?
Thanks in advance

Something else to think about is your credit rating. If its not great then you might struggle to get a decent rate (provided you can get a card at all) which might not be worth transferring onto.
If you dont know what your credit file is like check this article:
