Balance Transfers from Partner

Hi everyone

Was just wondering if it is possible for me to transfer a balance on my girlfrend's credit card to mine.

We are trying to sort our finances and on one of her cards she is paying a stupid amount of interest due to cash withdrawals etc.

I was thinking of transferring it to mine so as there is no balance on my credit card and then we would only be paying the interest on the balance transfer and then in a few months time to transfer it back.

Both of us would rather not apply for new cards so was thinking this might be a way of paying less interest.

Any advice would be appreciated.d

Dave

    In general yes, you can BT from any CC ... companies only generally require the 16 digit CC number.
    However, it will of course then be your debt.
    Is there a reason why OH won't apply for a new card.. maybe one with 0% BT deal?
