£3000 over drawn HELP!

Advice needed - Have over draft on current account of £3000, need to pay it off at £100 a month, thinking over 3 years, but paying upto £40 month interest at the moment on bank charges. Is it better to take a loan, can I put it on a credit card interest free? Anyone got any useful ideas?

    That would be ideal - if you can find a 0% card offering super balance transfers (or very low cash withdrawals) with a £3k limit.

    All depends on your circumstances (credit file)

    A loan would also be a good move if you can find one at a good rate (Credit file again).

    An Overdraft can be withdrawn at a moments notice leaving you with the whole lot to find in a short time.
