    Unlike current accounts, credit cards cannot be held in joint names. The primary cardholder is responsible for all debt on the card.

    Just to clarify...

    The O/D is yours, ie it's a sole account?
    The credit card debt is hers?
    You don't currently have a credit card?

    Have you ever had a credit card in your own name?
  • Hello again, The overdraft is on our joint account, the card is in her name, and no I have never had a credit card, The current account is our only account.
    Sorry for delays in reply but am having to pop in and out.

    Shouldn't be a problem BTing from her card to yours...just don't volunteer that bit of information. ;)
    and no I have never had a credit card
    Then unless you have a very good salary, and a history of repaying your mortgage and/or other commitments, then I fear you're not going to get a £9K limit...but good luck anyway.
  • Have a long history of mortgage/ direct debit payments but what do you call a good salary?
    I guess Im looking at a loan, thanks for your help anyway, cheers , bertimcg
