Very/Next account transfer HELP!

Hello!
I have to a very account (£1684.00) and a Next account (£1733) interest is high and I want to transfer both balances but those account don't allow you to do that, I think I'll have to clear both balances with a credit card then transfer the total over.
Is this right and what cards? I'm clueless

    You are confusing credit cards with credit accounts.
    You cannot transfer a credit account.

    In theory you could apply for a Money Transfer card, which would (assuming you got a card with such a limit) enable you to get money transferred to your account on 0% for x months (a small fee will apply). You could then use the money to reduce your two account balances.
