Allocation of payments, help!!

Options
I have a 0% balance transfer offer through from my bank for 10 months with 0% handling fee. I currently have £1,500 outstanding on the account and wish to transfer over the balance of another card to this one using the offer. My allocation of payments detail is as follows:
1. Interest on special offers
2. other interest fees and charges
3. special offers shown o the statement
4. purchases and balance transfers shown on the statement
5. advances and money transfers

My question is will i be paying of the 0% balance transfer first or the £1500 debt already on the card? My thinking is it will be the £1500 as this is a special offer with 0% interest. am i correct??

Cheers
Jock

    You will be paying back the 0% offer first.

    Until the 0% transfer is clear you will be incurring the standard APR on the full £1500 balance already on the card, every single month ;)
