Balance transfer help.

I currently have a debt of less than £1,000 on a MBNA card (Amazon). I applied for a Virgin card in the hope that I could transfer my balance before having to pay interest on the amount. I have now been informed that Virgin is controlled by MBNA & therefore I cannot transfer the balance.

I have looked at applying for a Barclaycard but it requires an income of over £20,000pa. However, I am on a low income so cannot apply.

Could anyone advise an alternative credit card with at least a years 0% interest rate? I accept that there may well be a fee involved in the transfer.

Many thanks.

Nic.
