is this possible?

Hi I've recently had home improvements done and want to pay for them with my m&s credit card. We recieved a letter off the company who did the work with the total cost and ways to pay by either cheque or internet banking and on the letter is a sort code and account number to pay money into. So what I'm wanting to know, Is it possible to pay from my credit card with just the sort code and account number of this company? I've logged into my card account on the Internet but couldn't find and option to do this and I've tried ringing m&s already and they couldn't make sense of what I want to do so hope this sounds clear. Any help would be very much appreciated!

    You can only pay by credit card if the person you are paying accepts credit cards. Sounds like they don't.
  • In short No you can't.

    You need a card which offers money / funds transfers (which you can pay to your own account to pay the bill)

    But there is no interest free period and usually a fee (c.3%).

    If you are desperate, it's much much cheaper than wonga etc. but not recommended otherwise.
