Best 0% card for paying off a personal loan

in Credit cards
I have about £2000 left on a personal loan at 6.7% interest.
I want to transfer it to a 0% card which will hopefully make the monthly payments less - but which should it be?
A balance transfer card or a new purchases card at 0% - i want to take the whole £2000 in one go obviously.
thanks

You can't just transfer a personal loan to a credit card.
A 0% purchases card means that whatever you buy ie purchases will be interest free for a certain period.
A 0% balance transfer card is used to transfer money to another credit card.
To pay off a personal loan you would need a card that offers money transfers. Then you would need to transfer money from the card to your current account so you could use the money to pay off your loan.0 -
great thank you - I hadn't thought of that!0

Virgin were offering a 0% deal for 20 months and they let you do money transfers for a 4% fee. Not sure about other offers around at the moment but someone else may be able to offer other suggestions.0
