    Really, it's too much interest. You should try for another loan but after paying the first one. If you take another loan without paying the first loan then after too much time, you may have pay more and more interest.

    To do that you will need a credit card which allow you to transfer to current account for a fee. This credit card is also called Super Balance Transfer Credit Card. As it is credit card they will do a credit check to assess the suitability.

    See for instance here

    Virgin Money 0% for 29 months 4% transfer fee
    MBNA Everyday 0% for 18 months 4% transfer fee
