will i get a 0% card for BT ?

hi guys

well after a couple of months i have managed to clear my OD and virgin credit card ...

next one is the Barclaycard .. its at £8700 and is not on 0% :(
I was thinking if I could move this onto a 0% card then I would be able to clear it quicker but im not sure what to do ?
I think my credit rating is not good but not to bad ... do you think I will get a card to transfer it to or do you think I would be better waiting a few month and hammering the BC to get it down a bit then apply for a 0% ?
in the last 2 month I have managed to clear my OD and VCC (hopefully) so im hoping this will go in my favour ...
ive never missed a mortgage or credit card payment the problem I have was I had an warehouse card and I got the payment date wrong and had a few months of late payments ...that's the only thing but im guessing it will screw my CR up :(
the only debt I will have will be my BC and mortgage £54000 ...

any advice would be great

    £8.7k means you need a limit of over £9k as none allow you to transfer the full limit.

    Its unlikely you'll get that sort of limit without a very good limit and a very high income

    Of cause getting a good limit and moving at least some of it onto 0% could well still be beneficial
