    Hi JC Derby

    Yes, there are some but I couldn't tell you who they are off the top of my head. I would suggest that you ask on the credit card forum as I have seen this discussed there.

    It might be helpful for us to understand more about the reasons why you wishhto do this? If is it because you have a 0% or similiar deal on your credit card and you think it would be beneficial to use this to overpay your mortgage as it's at a higher rate then you need to look into the terms and conditions of your credit card. Some cards consider mortgage payments on the card to be a cash advance so charge a far higher % and handling fee accordingly, other consider such payments to be 'normal purchases'.

    Let us know more and perhaps we can help further

    thanks for the reply.
    To be fair posting on the cc forum would be a bit a*** about face as there wouldnt be much point having a credit card if the mortgage product i have doesnt accept payments or over payments by them.;)
