Current Account Overdraft as Balance Transfer

Has anyone transferred their overdrawn current account balance to a credit card as a balance transfer?
All the references I read seem to apply to either other credit card balances or sums outstanding on store cards.

    You need a money transfer option, that will allow you to transfer money to your current account. eg MBNA.

    You need a credit card which will permit what is colloquially called a "Super Balance Transfer". Most of the MBNA family of cards allow this, as well as a few others.
