    Keep paying it down as much as you can each month, not sure I follow the rest of your post but 0% credit card refers to the promotional period on the account, different companies offer different deals, i.e some on cash purchases and some of retail or a mix of both
  • I was wondering if I could get another credit card from I different lender and transfer the balance over and have no interest on it

    That has to be a record...I make it way over 100% APR.

    Unless perhaps you're mistaken?


    * EDIT: 106.99% APR...A mistake surely?
