help regarding credit card/overdraft

Hi there, I have a large overdraft which i am not able to pay off. Someone i work with mentinoed getting a credit card that has 0% on balance transfers for say 12 months.

Would i be able to get a credit card that does the above, pay money into my bank, clear of overdraft, then just pay back the credit card? I don't really understand!

Please help. thanks

Suzi

    If you have a good credit rating then you may be able to get a 0% balance transfer deal on an MBNA card.. they allow you to BT to your current a/c for a 4% fee.

    Unless you clear the balance in a year you will of course start paying high APR and yu may be worse off

    If you're spending more than your income you need to budget and cut down spending so you have more to pay off the OD
