    Mish is right, you can't. Thats what the "Credit Card Cheques" that the Halifax send are for. Pay one of those into your bank account for the amount you need to clear, and the debt will disappear from you bank and go onto the credit card :)

    Yes, Halifax periodically issues credit card cheques, which can be paid directly into your current account. Unfortunately, the cheques cannot be ordered and you never know when the next ones will turn up in the post.

    Caution: as above, check Ts & Cs carefully, as these vary with each promotion.
