Virgin Credit Card - Extortionate Interest
Comments
-
Hi,
my OH is in a very similar situation, in the end I took out 2 0% BT cards to transfer some of the debt, unfortunatly they didnt give me enough credit limit but I still managed to transfer £1700 of his previous £4700, which is great as that £1700 is now not having any interest charged and we are just in the process of looking for another card for this last £3k balance. Do you have a partner (or even better - a family member) with a good credit rating who would be willing to take out a 0% Balance Transfer card for you?

Well my boyfriend also has bad credit (we are a right pair) and my mum is not too keen on the idea - I spoke to Virgin and they said the interest rate will go down as i make regular payments (yeah right!)0
