Credit Card "Families"

Hi

I got scammed :( and now I'm in a pickle with debt on credit cards and I'm looking to balance transfer to a good long term rate. Thing is I have the following cards and don't want to apply to the same "family / group" to help me get the best deal.

I've got Capital One, Barclaycard, M&S Money, MBNA

Could anyone help me or point me in the direction where I could find out which card sits under which "family or group".

Thanks.
BW

    Thanks for the link I can now at least have a better chance at applying for a different "family/group" card.

    As for the scam - sorry to say but last year I was scammed by a Nigerian Romance Scam over a 6 month period. It involved Western Union money tranfers which of course I found out was a cash advance. Thus the problem with the credit card debt.

    So trying to get things sorted and trying to get my head above water.
    This is the first step.
    Thanks for your help

    Go on then - how much? lol

    You'll have to forgive me for saying this but Nigerian scammers are some of the 'thickest' criminals going, how many millions were they offering you?
