    Its possible to transfer debts from one name to another, he needs to understand he will be legally responsible for the debt should you be unable to pay or refuse to pay.
    But only a few card providers allow you to transfer money from the card to a current account - he would need to have a card from one of these providers to do that - http://www.stoozing.com/sbt.php

  • Plus, please make sure the CC you're applying for has a low interest rate for cash transfers - HBOS for example are at about 30% but Virgin has 4%.

    HBOS don't do super balance transfers on a 0% card. Virgin is 0% interest for 14months but has a 4% fee on the advance.
