    It's absolutely unclear what you have tried to do.
    Did you want to pay your partner's (you have one partner, don't you?) CC minimum payment with your credit card?

    If so, does your card allow money transfers to current accounts and offers 0% on them? If it does, you can transfer money to a current account first, then pay the bill from the current account. Alternatively your partner's bill has to show on the back side the payment methods. One of them has to be some bank account number with the 16-dig card number as a reference, but I am not sure that your card provider will accept such details.

    Alternatively, you can do a small balance transfer from your partner's card to yours that will count as a payment.

    In all cases the time scale is far less predictable than for normal ways of paying and involves a fee.

    The 'Bank Account' Details would be the same as what is quoted on the statement for Online Payment - will be a Sort Code \ Account (General) and then Credit Card number as payment reference - they all have this on the statements..

    Does your card allow transfers in this way? especially at the offer rate?, You may need to look into how Balance transfers are done in that it will just need the card number and payment amounts..

    You want to do it as a Balance Transfer rather than a transfer to

    Well, "next" doesn't necessarily mean "Next".
    However, if it really is "Next" then it simply can be paid by a CC without any transfers (EDIT: 0% won't apply in this case, but it can be done in two steps with another CC).
