Here's the idea but need some intelligent folk to help me get my head round what to do and how to do it!!
We have purchased a car for £9k on a hire purchase deal at 0% for 12 months therefore making the payments about £750 per month. We have the money to buy the car outright but wanted to leave it in ISA's earning interest and use someone else's money to finance the car.
Now the idea we've had is to do a 0% BT deal for the car (possibly up to £9k), put BT money in bank account and then make the hire purchase payments from BT money, efectively not even using our savings to pay the hire purchase.
Then once hire purchase is finished maybe do another BT deal and pay the money off the credit card over that deal, that way leaving our money in savings for a lot longer and making more interest.
Is this possible/feasable to do/worth doing?
Thanks

You will need a MULE card(MNBA,Virgin,Alliance & Leicester,MINT, Lloyds or Egg) as these allow you to BT money from your credit card into a bank account.You can do this over the phone or they will send you a cheque which you write to yourself and the cash goes into your bank account and the debt appears on your credit card.
There is normally a 3% fee for this some of these cards have uncapped fees so watch out as it could be £270 just to move your money, so look for a capped fee.
You may have to apply for two or even three cards to get the 9K limit at 0%.
The card companies restrict the limits while the 0% period is running and raise the limits after the period ends.
You will only need one MULE card to rotate your funds through any other card should have a long 0% period as possible ie.12months+.

Give customer services a ring and ask them if they will provide cheques for a BT on your card.
