Balance transfer?

Hello :hello:

I am pretty new to this so sorry if I sound silly!
I took out a credit card with Abbey as it is 0% interest on balance transfers.
I am half way paying off my last balance transfer with my new Abbey card, but my partner and I bought a new television (with Comet/GE money) which we are paying £17 a month over 4 years - and we have paid £10 interest just in the first month! :mad:
Would I be able to transfer the balance from the TV onto my credit card? I was not quite sure if it is just credit card to credit card transfers?
Thank you in advance

    You need a card with super balance transer facility, meaning you can pay it into your bank account and then spend the money as you wish. Cards that do this are MBNA, virgin, post office.....
