I am after a balance transfer....

I am after a credit card with a balance transfer but I currently have a loan out for 25,000. I am not wanting to transfer THAT amount, I am trying to transfer a credit card amount for £3,500 - does anyone know whether the 25k loan will stop me from doing this? Or can anyone suggest any cards that would be happy with this?

  • There's too many other factors to be able to say for sure, or even with any degree of certainty.

    For example, what's your salary compared to your loan/other borrowings; what's your history like.

    I know Egg gave me a card when my borrowing was at its zenith (over £20000) last year where others refused citing this reason. This was spread over several lenders though.

    Either way if your intention is to pay into your loan you need cards with the SBT facility.
    The above facts belong to everybody; the opinions belong to me; the distinction is yours to draw...
