Balance transfer a personal loan?

Is it possible to transfer a personal loan onto a 0% credit card?
RBS say they won't do it but make no reference to it in their small print (which I have poured over).
If I know the redemption figure and banking details why can't it be done?

Does anyone know the answer? Or better still a way round it??!
Fingers crossed.

The majority of balance transfers require a 16 digit credit card code.
However some cards allow BT to your current a/c from where you can pay off the loan. e.g. MBNA stable of cards and eggmoney allow this.0 -
Just transfer the money into your normal account, then pay it from there.
It is an indirect BT which is entirely acceptable.0 -
Yup, or request BT cheques and pay them a cheque. I did to Barclayloan from Marbles.
Probably easier to pay it into your current account as you can probabaly do it over the phone.Starting debt @ LBM: £8436.51 (8/5/7)
Barclaycard: £5804.52 (May 07) - 6.9% LOB Now: £5315.25
Egg: £1640.99 (May 07) - 1.9% May 08 - Now: £1242.69
[strike]Barclays O/D: £991dr (May 07) - 16.9% - Now: £0.00[/strike]
Debt August 07 £6557.94

Just rung RBS - would do a transfer into my c/a but it would be a money transfer so would accure daily interest!
Next port of call is Egg.................2018 MFW #60 £1200/£6000

I did the Egg money thing - there is an article on the main site that explains it all - good luck!
***PROUD TO BE DEALING WITH MY DEBT***
Reclaimed my bank charges - got £250 back from HSBC and £88 from First Direct

if your plan is to BT from egg to RBS and then BT from egg to your current a/c remember that you need the EggMoney card and NOT the Egg card... very confusing .0
