    Over what period do you require the 'loan' for?
  • Well........
  • I am thinking of using my credit cards short term instead of applying for a loan.

    I have £4,000 available on my credit card - how can I transfer that to my current account without paying a hefty fee?

    You can do it for no charge if your card has 0% Super Balance Transfers
