Tips for a £4k 0% transfer deal on credit card

Wondering if anyone can suggest where I'm likely to get a 0% deal to transfer £4k from an existing credit card which is costing me lots!?

I earn £47k, have one £20k loan half-way through the 5-year repayment period and have a good credit rating. Most credit card companies say the credit limit will be around £1200, but I would like to transfer all my outstanding balance.

Any advice will be most gratefully received.

  • Ive just moved my balance to Barclaycard, 22 months % pretty straightforward, the credit limit i was given was £3900, so i assume you would be able to transfer your 4k no problem.......:)

    .

    Where are you reading the £1200 figure - this is the figure typically used in the summary box to illustrate the price of using a card - its not an indication of the limit you or anyone who get.
    Barclaycard and Virgin seem to be amongst the more generous limits for quite a lot of people, who is your existing card with?
    A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give
    or "It costs nowt to be nice"
  • Thanks, I'll give them a try. My current card was a Mint card which was then taken over by RBS. I've had it for about 8 years, I think and used it over the last year whilst on a sabbatical. Now I need to pay it all off!
