Are there any early redemption fees on the loans?
I would transfer the Lloyds card and settle the smaller loan that would leave £1210 unused limit on the Barclaycard. (if there are no fees added).
Again if fees make sense use whatevers left to reduce the final loan. Then if your overall monthly payments are lower than now put the difference to over paying the loan down to zero, put it aside to help when the 0% expires.
What is the APR on the unused Barclaycard? or the purchase rate on your new card. If they are lower than the LLoyds card and you really have to spend use those. When paying your new card the higher rate debt will be paid first.0 -

Help please, many thanks, Anna- Withdraw cash from Lloyds card. This will cost you you 3%. They will probably just transfer money to your current account for the same charge if you ack them.
- Use the cash to pay off a loan.
- Transfer the balance from Lloyds to Barclays (I think 2250*90%=£2025 is max).
You can repeat this if your Lloyds limit doesn't allow you withdrawing £1075.0 -

Read summary box
"2.5% fee on transfers made within 60 days..."Or you advice to ring barclay and ask for trsnsfer balance to current account?
And it's either to transfer money to current account or to transfer balance from it.0
