Hello - quick transfer query! :)

Any input appreciated! :)

I have an outstanding balance on my barclaycard - when making monthly payments, more than half the money is going on interest - so it makes sense I think to have a reshuffle!

I applied for a couple of cards online and wasn't successful, I'm assuming that this is because I have three late payments on my record - one in feb of this year, and two for the CC in Feb and April last year, 2011.

Am I unlikely to get any new credit card offers with this history? So is it best to either approach Virgin - with whom I have a 0 balance credit card account still open - and ask what they can offer me, or look to get another consolidation loan from the bank?

Any advice or suggestions welcome! :) and thanks for reading

    With recent defaults and declined applications you are going to have problems with getting a zero percent card, I would speak to virgin first and see what they can offer.
