an easy question for super balance transfers

hi, not a tricky question, hopefully someone on here can help.

i have just received a virgin credit card after reading the super balance transfer article on the cards/loans page.

luckily i have enough credit limit to shift a high interest loan onto it and reading the article it says i should do a current account transfer.

can anyone help with a description of how to do this ie. do i ask for a cheque from virgin and pay it into my bank or phone them or something else?

im being a but cautious as i have to transfer almost £10000 and would hate to end up paying interest on it when i should be at 0%

thanks in advance for any tips

    Hi Graeme, I did this last year and it's really easy. You just ring Virgin and ask them to transfer the money into your current account - give them the account number and sort code, and it's done!
