Balance transfer

I want to transfer my credit card as the 0% ends in Feburary, the thing is I am no longer employed and am now on benefits. So I'm asking would it be possible to transfer as I am no longer getting a salary?

    Unlikely, but a single application that's turned down won't make any major difference to your credit score. So you've got nothing much to lose if you ask me.

    You can count benefits, savings income and any other income you get from selling things on ebay as your income, and some applications also ask for household income so that may help your chances.
