Vanquis balance transfer

Hi,I made a online application to transfer a outstanding from a Vanquis card to my Barclaycard Platinum.I put the details in the Barclaycard site and it all looks ok.But I have noticed that there appears to be problems posted online regarding BTs from Vanquis.After the BT I will cut up the card and close the A/c.Has anyone got any info regarding this please.

    Balance transfers from vanquis to bank of Scotland don't work, I know that for a fact. Others I'm not sure about.

    The reason I got when I was on the phone to BOS was along the lines of "no they don't let us do it". The lady I spoke to was nice and apologetic but she warned it might not work before she even tried as it seems vanquis are bad for it.
