    no credit before only 19.....aiming high i know, cant afford it any other way
    tbh you are unlikely to get a long 0% card :( Sorry. You could try your bank if they have any offers on at the moment and you have good account conduct.

    The problem with that, Kavanne, is that the banks (as in those providing current accounts) are not renowned for having long 0% purchase deals (see the link in post #2).

    If OP is not careful, and/or lending criteria tightens in the interim, (s)he could finish up with a very large 16/17/18.9% APR interest-bearing debt.

    A slippery slope?

    I completely agree with all of the above. OP, find another way!!
