Balance transfers

I have got a credit card bill of £5,000 which I was given through my bank which I pay 14% on at moment. Now that the 0% interest of 6 months has ran out I have got a barclaycard, as I work part-time they would only let me have balance of £680. I have transferred that from the £5,000. Should I wait until I have paid that £680 off before getting another 0% balance transfer card. I have cut up the cards and would not use them again.

    NO try for an Egg card and get the rest of your debt transfered to it if you get one. Barclays are notorious for giving very low initial credit limits and by the time it increases you have run out of the balance transfer window. If you don't get egg try mbna and others recommended on this site.
