Is this possible as i want to pay off a car loan(HP) by transfering it to a 0% credit card.

    in general you can't pay off a loan with a credit card

    however some credit cards e.g. MBNA stable allow you to BT to your currrent a/c and hence you can use the money to clear the debt.

    so if
    -you can get a suitable card with a 0% BT offer
    -with a sufficient credit limit
    -and you have a plan for when the 0% deal runs out and starting charging 25-30%

    then it may be a goer.

    but do the maths first
