in Credit cards
Hi there hope you dont mind me asking as I know there is lots already on the subject of balance transfers (which i have read) but i'm still unsure of what to do and which cards charge for this service.

Can anybody help a complete newby?

I have just over 1k to transfer and will be able to pay it off in the next 6-9 months.

Cheers,

Pete.
I'll get me coat!

    Go for Egg. It's very easy to do everything you need online, the flexibility of BTs to your current account and the anniversary offer is handy too. No charges for BTs.

    It's only fraud if you get caught.

    I don't offer advice by PM so please post your questions in the appropriate thread.[/size]

    Another card to consider would be the Halifax One card - it has 0% for 9 months and as far as I know still has charge free BTs.
