    If you want to transfer a debt, you only need to ask the company which you want to transfer the debt to. In your case it is Cahoot. As your loan is flexible, you can just transfer the money up to your loan limit to a current account ('withdraw funds') and then to pay the credit card balance. As simple as that. In fact it is even more simple: you can transfer money from your loan account directly to the CC account. You need to know the corresponding sort code, account number and reference: 'withdraw funds' > 'transfer to a non-cahoot account'.

    Money moves from Cahoot to Virgin; debt (balance) moves from Virgin to Cahoot.
