Light at the end of the tunnel!

I am new to any form of forums so please bear with me.
I am actually starting to see the light now in my 7 year debt battle, I have an EGG loan with £2700 on which I would like to make more headway with. I have phoned 3-4 credit cards to see If i can transfer them across on a 0% bu no joy. I have a very good credit rating & wondered if anyone knew of a credit card company that accepted loans :think:

    You could try applying to the MBNA/Virgin credit card which is almost the only card allowing you to transfer money directly to your current account, generally there is a fee of about 4% and they offer 0% for 16 months, but make sure that you pay it back within that time or interest could go up to 16% unless trying to shift debt again onto another CC with a 0% offer.

    Any that say ** Money transfer (SBT) fee is now 4% ** are MBNA backed (most of them)
