Paying off loans with credit cards

Options
Anyone know if I can pay off a Halifax loan with a credit card? They are closed at the moment so I can't call them to find out?

I found out I could pay off my Mini loan with a CC so I was very happy (most of it now on 0% :beer:)
Thanks to everyone for the comp links

    Only if the credit card allows you to do a balance transfer to a bank account. You can then use those funds to pay the loan off

    You're in the wrong section for that, just stick to the savings and investment threads if you want that.

    Just don't go onto the loans board, you'd have a heart attack, on there it's not only not their money, they've also generally been mis-sold it by some heartless financial institution that wants it back.

    Thanks guys, just checked my Tesco CC and it has the facility to transfer to a bank account. Will this be counted as a balance transfer as part of my promo offers?
