    Why not post your details as per the request further up so we can give you a rough idea about whether it would be worth it?

    If this is declined then I will pay off the balance with my savings. It means I have less of a buffer but at least the debt is gone.

    What are you attempting to gain with balance transfers?

    Thanks for all your advice and help. I have just got accepted on the nationwide card so I'm going to transfer some of the balance and pay the rest off.
