Getting a 0% on balance tranfers card...advice please

Hi there,

Having listened to what Martin had to say on This Morning, I am looking for some advice about the Capital One Balance card imparticular.

Can you only transfer balances from other credit cards or can this be other balances ie loans, store card etc?
Also, I am currently a stay at home mum so because I dont earn a wage personally, would this mean I couldnt aply for this card?

I have never had a credit card before but having listened to Martins advice I feel this may be a much better way forward to clearing my debts.

Thanks in advance :)

    Generally it's from CCs only, but some providers offer Super transfers

    Some providers take household income into account, but I don't know which ones. Generally, without any personal income the chances are slim and the limit is likely to be very low.
