balance tranfers

hello everyone. this is my first thread. when halifax offered 0% interest on balance transfers for 22 months, i transferred £1100 from my barclaycard. after 6 months i have noticed that i am paying interest each month. the reason i did the transfer was to pay off the outstanding amount interest free over the 22 month period. has halifax made a mistake charging me, or have i missed something? i appreciate any advice given. thanks

    Have you only just realised you've been paying interest for 6 months?

    Have you just found out you've been paying interest for 3 months?

    Have you ever made any purchases with the card?

    Have you ever paid your monthly payment late (there will be a £12 fee on one of your statements if you have)?
  • i made a late payment 3 months ago. got a letter from barclays today offering 0% on balance transfers for 15 months providing i dont miss a payment. probably that. oh well, better move it back to barclays.
