Card Tarting as a student

Here's one. Last August I dispensed with sanity and went back to college to train to be a teacher (mad). I currently have a debt of arount £2,000 on my credit card (on 0% with egg ). The interest free period is coming to an end and I was looking to tart it around. Trouble is most application forms (logically) ask for details of income, which I currently don't have. Don't really want to make fraudulent applications so was wondering if anywhere offers 0% transfers for students.

Anyone any ideas?

    Sorry can't really help.
    How about starting with your current bank and explain it to them if you have been with them a while they should give you a cc.
    Have a look in the students forum as well.
    Do you have a partner?Get them to apply instead of you then BT the funds to the new card.
