Using CC to pay for bill, but no card facilities...

MasterPoo

I was not paying attention when I was budgeting this month and I'm trying to avoid dipping into my savings, how can I pay a bill using my credit card even though the company does not have card payment facilities?

Is there a way around this? All I have are their sort code and account number! I'm mad at myself!!! HELP

You can't, directly.

You may be able to go through an intermediary which will often be charged as a cash advance, because you are in effect buying cash.

Short of taking a cash advance (which will cost you far more) then you cannot

You can ask your card provider for a balance transfer to your current account, which they might refuse.

You can withdraw cash from an ATM (along with the fees and interest for doing so)

It might be easier and cheaper to use an overdraft facility.

Using your savings will by far be the cheapest option.
