Can I do that? They have sent me a load of blank cheques. Can I just pay one into my account? Wouldnt I get charged the cash advance interest rate then?0 -

They tried fiddling round with the 19 digit number to see if they could make it work but taking off the 1st 3 but it still wouldnt go through.
[1] Why can't you apply for an overdraft with your bank and pay it off?
[2] A personal loan of £1800.00 over 12 months would be more cost effective than Barclaycard applying the £500.00 to your Homebase card;)0 -

I guess I could do either option, I was just trying to avoid paying any interest whatsoever.
Had a look at loan rates and because its a low amount the rates are really high.0 -
