Debt

I owe £2500.00 which I transferred to Barclaycard. I wish to make another purchase of around three grand. The man said that Barclaycard would give me a special rate of 2/9 I think. I was left with the impression that that would be for the whole lot on the card. I thought what happened to the 22 months interest free for the first
£ 2500.00. Can someone educate me please.:eek:

Did you mean 2.9%?

If so it sounds like you got a special rate for purchases and it seems unlikely they would interfere with your existing 0% balance. In this case, payments you make would reduce the 2.9% balance first.

But to be sure you need to clarify:
1) that the 2.9% is just for new purchases and not the existing balance
2) how long you have to make your purchase
3) how long the 2.9% rate lasts

I don't think anyone else here can guess. It would be best to call them back and check.
