Barclaycard - not enough credit for 0% balance transfer

Hiya,

I wonder if this happened to anybody else and would be the best solution.

Applied for 0% Barclaycard (10 months) in order to transfer balance from a high interest cc. The balance on this cc is £980 but Barclaycard have only offered a limit of £540 which is obviously not enough to transfer all of the balance from the old cc.

What do I do now? Do I transfer as much as I can to Barclaycard and carry on paying off both cc? Or perhaps speak to Barclaycard and ask them to increase the limit?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Personally when i have applied in the past for barclays and its been well noted on this forum in the past they offer very low limits - plus they may only review that limit 6 months time,unless you go down the route of proving your income - sending wage slips etc etc.
    Tell it as it should be....
