Paying off finance with CCard

in Credit cards
I'm coming to the end of my 12 months interest free period on my kitchen finance with Homebase and was looking for some advice on which kind of card to get
A) pay on an existing card then balance transfer
get a new card and do 0% on purchases (I guess paying of finance is a purchase)
C) get a money transfer card and pay it off using my debit card with the funds from the money transfer
It's going to around £3000, I have an excellent credit rating so should be able to get the good cards and should be able to pay off easily within 24 months

will they accept payment by credit card?A) pay on an existing card then balance transfer
not a valid assumption - it depends on which companies are involved. Sometimes it is treated as a cash advance which attracts higher interest. get a new card and do 0% on purchases (I guess paying of finance is a purchase)
