  • £100 a month should see it paid off in 7 months,apr usually around 16-17%,remember a balance transfer will incur a fee of around 3%

    Surely, it will say on your statement?
    My posts are my own opinions based on my experiences and info gathered from sites such as this.
    They are not a substitute for professional financial advice - but you knew that already didn't you? ;)

  • Most only quote monthly interest rate - not straightforward to work out APR.
  • Either way a 0% will save you money.

    True - but even if the OP gave us that much info, we could work it out and tell them. Certainly can't speculate on the interest rate the OP has on their card.
