You cannot force the creditor to accept payment by CC or give you a means to pay off the loan by BT.
You cannot force your card company to make a balance transfer outside of their published terms (e.g. to pay off a loan)
The virgin card does allow 0% super balance transfers so using a virgin card to pay off the debt (via a bank account) shouldn't be an issue, although the BT fee is slightly higher.
Although that obviously would be subject to getting card with a limit, which I think could be an issue.A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who giveor "It costs nowt to be nice"0
