Overdraft to credit card?

Morning,
Am new to all of this, and been reading so much my brain has fried!!
Cannot find the thread of Martins that explains how to avoid paying overdraft fees? It doesnt come up each time I click?
I am at the hilt of my overdraft and paying fees and interest of £68.21 at the end of each month! My overdraft is £3000 and I don't want to go over this, and also want to avoid the charge/fees.
Can I apply for a credit card (don't have any currently) and put my o/d on this (if I can get a 0% one for a year, then change again.).
Can you pay a bank overdraft with a credit card?
Sorry if I seem thick! Any advice would be great.

    Yes, if you get a credit card that gives you cheques ...
    They will charge you though; MNBA carges 3% if you use one of their cheques but if you get a zero interest card then it will only cost you that 3% or whatever ... PROVEDED YOU PAY IT OFF AT THE END OF THE ZERO PERIOD!
    Cheers
